DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Fish and chip van for events in Millbank, cooked to order
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, so we need little help from busy volunteers. Popular choices include sausage and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips, and we’re often booked for charity fundraisers and community events and sports tournaments.
In Millbank, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Public spaces usually need council permission, and the van needs a pitch it can reach. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

- How many people are eating
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays

Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Expected numbers
- A picture of where the van would go
- Your date and serving time
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- Details of any power or water on site
As a London location, Millbank 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 you book.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Millbank
What’s the nearest station to Millbank?
The closest is London Victoria station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Can you come to a school fair in Millbank?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
We can. Tell us how many and when, and we’ll quote.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not 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.
What can visitors choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can you come to a school event?
We do. We will agree access before the children arrive.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Display allergens for each stall
- Agree who removes waste
- Share any nut or allergy policies
Have a hard-standing back-up pitch in case the ground is soft.
A sign at the entrance tells visitors hot food is available.
How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with frying and serving. December events in Millbank lose the light at about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there’s light until about 8:50pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Tell us when you want to eat
