Fish and chip van for events in Holland Park
How our fish and chip van for events works in Holland Park
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, so we need little help from busy volunteers. We’re frequently asked to cater food for volunteers and sports days, with sausage and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips.
Street parties and school fairs in Holland Park are a great fit for a chip van, once the permissions are in place. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
How the day works
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. Winter fairs in Holland Park are dark by about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there is light until about 8:55pm.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
Ask for a quote
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.
Planning help
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- A clear route onto the pitch
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
Holland Park 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 are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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 is fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
