Fish and chip van for events for Grange Mills events
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue run by volunteers, a van means volunteers can enjoy the day. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

About our fish and chip van for events in Grange Mills
A hot-food van gives families a reason to stay longer. On the menu are chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater music and food festivals and school summer fairs.
In Grange Mills, a chip van suits school fairs and street parties, once the permissions are in place. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

What happens on the day
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Visitors typically gather round the hatch once service starts. December events in Grange Mills lose the light at about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare

Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Distance and any road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Cod, haddock or both
- How easy the site is to reach
Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the event is
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Roughly how many people, including children
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your event in Grange Mills, and we’ll come back with availability and a quote.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Agree who removes waste
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Agree when volunteers will eat
Have a hard-standing back-up pitch.
A sign at the entrance tells visitors hot food is available.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, 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.
Where the van can park in Grange Mills
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
As a London location, Grange Mills is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
