Fresh fish and chips in North Cheam
Fish and chip van for events for your event in North Cheam
A hot-food van gives families a reason to stay longer, which is good for every other stall. We are frequently asked to cater community open days and feeding event crew, with cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
London street parties and fairs in North Cheam need careful planning around road closures and access. Send us the pitch and timings. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

About the food
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Running an event in North Cheam
North Cheam is about 3 miles north-east of Epsom, in Greater London. We serve events at drives, car parks, yards and venues around North Cheam and nearby villages. We cover all 764 towns and villages in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from North Cheam to London (10 miles away).
If your event is in Nonsuch Park, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission for vehicles and traders. For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as St Oswald Church, a chip van adds hot food to the cakes and tombola.
Here we cover the SM3, KT4 and SM1 postcode area, so your event can be anywhere in it. From Glyn Road, Covey Road and Lloyd Road or a nearby road, we’ll bring the van to you. Other places close to North Cheam we cover include Cuddington (1 mile south-west), Lower Morden (1 mile north), Sutton Common (1 mile north-east), Stoneleigh (1 mile south-west) and Morden (2 miles north). Larger places within reach include London (10 miles north-east), City of Westminster (10 miles north), Marylebone (11 miles north), Kensington (9 miles north), St Pancras (12 miles north) and Shoreditch (12 miles north-east).

Planning the van’s spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
As a London location, North Cheam is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- The day of the week
- How easy the site is to reach
- Distance and any road charges
- Any minimum charge
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and time of the event
- Dietary needs, with numbers

Step by step
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. Summer events in North Cheam have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Give us a contact for the day

North Cheam: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to North Cheam?
The closest is West Sutton station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Could you trade in Nonsuch Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
Do you cover North Cheam?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including North Cheam and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, use our quote form.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
What about visitors who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes. Tell us how many and when, and we’ll quote.
What are the terms for events?
It depends on the event: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We’ll agree terms before the day.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
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.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Agree who removes waste
- Tell us about the pitch
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
Agree a wet-weather pitch on hard standing.
A few benches near the van help.
