Fish and chip van for events in Lisson Grove
Fish and chip van for events in Lisson Grove, cooked to order
We bring the van and everything we need to cook, so we need little help from busy volunteers. We’re often asked to cater fundraisers and community festivals, serving sausage and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips.
Events in Lisson Grove range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Public spaces normally need council permission, and we need a pitch the van can reach. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Lisson Grove: your questions answered
Could you trade in Regent's Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
Do you trade at school fairs around Lisson Grove?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Can the van come to Lisson Grove?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Lisson Grove. To check your date, use our quote form.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How many people are eating
- Distance and any road charges
- Service time
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.

The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. At midsummer, events in Lisson Grove 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.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- 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
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know the serving time
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
Ask for a quote
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Tell us about the pitch
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Agree how we will be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
Put bins near the queue.
A few benches near the van help.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
At bigger events, a chip van works alongside other traders. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
