Fish and chip van for events for Grove Park events
Fish and chip van for events in Grove Park, cooked to order
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, which helps volunteer-run events. We’re often asked to cater music and food festivals and sports tournaments, serving haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
Street parties and school fairs in Grove Park are a great fit for a chip van. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Planning the van’s spot
We will be honest if a spot will not work. What matters most:
- Information about power and water
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
As a London location, Grove Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Agree when volunteers will eat

- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
Plan where the queue forms, especially near rides and games.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Grove Park
Can the van park in Dukes Meadows?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is parking a problem for the van in Grove Park?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
We can. Give us numbers and a time.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
Can the van come to our fair?
Tell us the date and pitch details and we will check.
Can the van come to Grove Park?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Grove Park and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, use our quote form.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.

- VAT, if it applies
Step by step
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. At midsummer, events in Grove Park 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.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
