Fish and chip van for events for your event in Mortlake
Food is fried to order, so it’s hot and crisp. Typical bookings include school fairs and sports days and summer fairs, serving sausage and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
Street parties and school fairs in Mortlake are a great fit for a chip van, once the permissions are in place. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Details of any power or water on site
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
- Confirmation the van can trade there
As a London location, Mortlake is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Service time
- The menu and how many choices
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.

- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
