Fresh fish and chips in Cubitt Town

For planners, venues and organisers

If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

Occasions we serve in Cubitt Town

Almost every visitor likes fish and chips.

Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We regularly serve:

  • Fundraisers
  • Church fêtes and fish and chip suppers
  • Sports club events and race days
  • Country shows

Running a fête for a church like Christ Church? A chip van draws people in.

Choosing a fish and chip van

Before you choose a spot

No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:

  • Somewhere firm if it rains
  • The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
  • Information about power and water

Cubitt Town is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What we serve

  • Mushy peas
  • Curry sauce
  • Cod and chips
  • Sausage and chips
  • Chips
  • Haddock and chips

What happens on the day

The first sign we’ve arrived is generally the smell. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. December events in Cubitt Town lose the light at about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there is light until about 8:50pm.

  1. Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

Preparing for the day

  • Make sure the van can get in
  • Confirm the van is allowed on site
  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Planning help

Diets, allergies and planning

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:

  • Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
  • Offer a choice of traders where you can
  • Share last year’s numbers if you have them
  • Settle the pitch terms early

At the end, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.

Tables and seating nearby help families eat.

Prices and what affects them

Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:

  • How many people are eating
  • The minimum booking
  • Travel, tolls and road charges
  • How easy the site is to reach

Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

Details that help

When you contact us, it helps to tell us:

  • A picture of the space and the way in
  • Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
  • Expected numbers
  • Any dietary needs and allergies

Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, use our quote form.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Cubitt Town questions

Can you come to a school fair in Cubitt Town?

Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.

What about parking in Cubitt Town?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.

Do you do festivals?

Send us the event details, dates and pitch information and we will let you know if we’re available.

What do we need to supply?

A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.

Can you cater for allergies?

Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.

Do you cover Cubitt Town?

Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Cubitt Town is within our area. To check your date, fill in our quote form.

How quickly can you serve everyone?

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Cubitt Town?

Compared with a barbecue run by volunteers, a van means volunteers can enjoy the day. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Why us?

  • Classic food your visitors already know
  • Something for visitors to gather round
  • Bookings across Greater London, including Cubitt Town
  • Nothing for you to cook or clear
