Fish and chip van for events for your event in New Malden
Few things draw a crowd at a fête or festival like the smell of fish and chips. A chip van gives organisers a hot-food trader that almost everyone wants. Popular choices include cod and chips, chips and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for food for volunteers and club open days.
Events in New Malden range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Public spaces typically need council permission, and the van needs a pitch it can reach. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

What a fish and chip van costs
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The minimum booking
- How long we serve
- How easy the site is to reach
- The menu and how many choices
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your event is.
Details that help
These details help us quote quickly:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Rough numbers for adults and children

- A photo of the parking spot
Each quote is put together for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Step by step
Changes on the day are fine: we will adjust start times and pace. Evening events in New Malden have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Ensure the van can get in

Planning help
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Agree who removes waste
At the end, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in New Malden
Can the van park in Beverley Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What about parking in New Malden?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
That varies: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We will agree terms before the day.
Can you trade at our fête or festival?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information and we’ll let you know if we are available.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including New Malden.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.

Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
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 the van needs

- Confirmation the van can trade there
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
New Malden is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
