How our fish and chip van for events works in Crofton Park
When there’s hot food, people stay longer, which is good for every other stall. For school summer fairs and village fêtes and summer fairs, we can cook curry sauce, mushy peas and chips.
Street parties and school fairs in Crofton Park are a great fit for a chip van, once the permissions are in place. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Can the van park in Blythe Hill Fields?

Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.

Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Mention any power or water.

Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
What are the terms for events?

About the food
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
How the day works
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. For an evening event in Crofton Park, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Church fêtes, at churches such as Church of St Hilda, are a natural home for a chip van. An event in Blythe Hill Fields means agreeing traders and vehicle routes with the landowner, usually the council.

Local streets include Ivy Road, Nash Road and Lindal Road; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.

Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
- A clear route onto the pitch
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
As a London location, Crofton Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
