How our fish and chip van for events works in Nine Elms
Country shows and field events suit a van, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. Typical bookings include sports tournaments and charity fundraisers and community events, with cod and chips, curry sauce and chips.
Events in Nine Elms range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Organisers typically need council permission for public spaces, and the van needs a pitch it can reach. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Step by step
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. Summer events in Nine Elms have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.

- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Give us a contact for the day

Which station is closest to Nine Elms?
Nine Elms has its own station: Battersea Park station.
Can you come to a school fair in Nine Elms?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we’ll explain the options before you book.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Visitors will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What the van needs
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- What’s available on the pitch
- Space for a queue away from paths
Nine Elms is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
