A chip van near Middle Park
The process
The first sign we’ve arrived is typically the smell. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. For an evening event in Middle Park, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, 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.
How to prepare
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

What else we do in Middle Park
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Questions from Middle Park
Do you trade at school fairs around Middle Park?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can the van park in Horn Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
What do you need on the pitch?
A firm pitch with space for a queue. Mention any power or water.
Can the van come to our fair?
Yes, where the date suits. Send us the date, location and expected numbers.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Next to a volunteer barbecue, a chip van frees your helpers. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Space for a queue away from paths
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- Information about power and water
As a London location, Middle Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
What affects the price in Middle Park
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
