Read our pricing and what a fish and chip van costs.
What a fish and chip van costs

- How long we serve
- Whether a minimum applies

Questions from Earlsfield
Which station is closest to Earlsfield?
Earlsfield has its own station: Earlsfield station.
What about parking in Earlsfield?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Do you come to Earlsfield?
We do. We serve events in Earlsfield and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
What the van needs
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Space for a queue away from paths
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- Access that avoids crowds
Earlsfield is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: 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 before you book.
How it works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your visitors can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. December events in Earlsfield lose the light at about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Organising for someone else?
