What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. At midsummer, events in Dulwich Village stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Dulwich Village
Could you trade in Dulwich Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you trade at school fairs around Dulwich Village?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What can visitors choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Do you do crew food?
We can. Give us numbers and a time.
Can the van come to our fair?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information and we will let you know if we’re available.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
