How our fish and chip van for events works in Honor Oak
We bring the van and everything we need to cook, so we need little help from busy volunteers. Popular choices include curry sauce, mushy peas and chips, and we’re often booked for horse and dog shows and church fêtes and fish and chip suppers.
Events in Honor Oak range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Public spaces usually need council permission, and the van needs a pitch it can reach. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. For an evening event in Honor Oak, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Let us know the serving time
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
