Fish and chip van for events in Crook Log, cooked to order
We bring the van and everything we need to cook, which helps volunteer-run events. Typical bookings include sports club events and race days and festivals, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
Events in Crook Log range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Organisers normally need council permission for public spaces, and we need a pitch the van can reach. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Common questions in Crook Log
Can the van park in Danson Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you trade at school fairs around Crook Log?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you come to Crook Log?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Crook Log and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Visitors will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
What can visitors choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.

School fairs, for a school like Crook Log Primary School, are a natural fit for a fish and chip van. Events in parks such as Danson Park need permission from the council or landowner, and the van needs a firm route onto the pitch.

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Agree who removes waste
- Tell us about the pitch
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
Have a hard-standing back-up pitch in case the ground is soft.
A few benches near the van help.
How the day works
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. In Crook Log, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
As a London location, Crook Log is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
