The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, which helps volunteer-run events. Popular choices include curry sauce, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we’re often booked for country shows and village fêtes and summer fairs.
Street parties and school fairs in Lower Morden are a great fit for a chip van, once the permissions are in place. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

St Helier station, about 0.9 miles east of the centre.

Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Make sure allergen information is available
Mark out the queue area away from walkways, especially near rides and games.
Pre-sold meal tickets can help at fundraisers.
Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Running an event in Lower Morden
Lower Morden is about 2 miles north-west of Sutton, in Greater London. Events in Lower Morden are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. We serve all 764 towns and villages in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Lower Morden to London (about 9 miles away).
For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as St Martin's, a chip van adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. An event in Cannon Hill Common means agreeing traders and vehicle routes with the landowner, usually the council.
Wherever your event is in SM4, SM3 and KT4, we can fry fresh for your visitors, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Ash Road, Bow Lane and Garth Road, and the van can serve an event on any of them with a suitable parking spot.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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’s fried on the spot.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access and parking
- Cod, haddock or both
- How far we travel
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The spot you have in mind for the van
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Winter fairs in Lower Morden are dark by about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there is light until about 8:50pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
Getting a price
Each quote is put together for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability straight away.

- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- What’s available on the pitch
