Fish and chip van for events in Lewisham, cooked to order
A van suits shows and field events, as long as there’s a firm route onto the pitch. We serve curry sauce, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for community open days and agricultural and country shows.
In Lewisham, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Organisers generally need council permission for public spaces, and we need a pitch the van can reach. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

What else we do in Lewisham
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- Space for a queue away from paths
- Information about power and water
As a London location, Lewisham 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’ll advise before booking.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
