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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Hurlingham
What about parking in Hurlingham?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Could you trade in Parsons Green (park)?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you come to a school event?
We do. We will agree access before the children arrive.
What does the pitch need?
Tell us the pitch size and ground, and we will confirm.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
Tell us how your event typically works with traders, and we will find something that works.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- Space for a queue away from paths
- Confirmation the van can trade there
Hurlingham is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

The process
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Summer events in Hurlingham have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
