About the food
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Fish and chip van for events in Morden, cooked to order
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, so we need little help from busy volunteers. For sports club events and race days and agricultural and country shows, we can cook curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips and more.
Events in Morden range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Public spaces normally need council permission, and the van needs a pitch it can reach. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

A sign at the entrance tells visitors hot food is available.
How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Winter fairs in Morden are dark by about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Share the timings for the day

Common questions in Morden
Which station is closest to Morden?
St Helier station, in Morden itself.
What about parking in Morden?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes. Give us numbers and a time.
