Fish and chip van for events in Nunhead, fried fresh
A van suits shows and field events, as long as there is a firm route onto the pitch. For village fêtes and summer fairs and feeding event crew, we can cook cod and chips, chips and mushy peas for your guests.
In Nunhead, street events mean planning closures and access. Tell us the pitch details and timings. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Questions from Nunhead
Can the van park in Peckham Rye?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Nunhead?
Nunhead has its own station: Nunhead station.
What does the pitch need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Mention any power or water.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
We can. Tell us how many and when, and we will quote.
Do you come to Nunhead?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Nunhead is within our area. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we will explain the options before booking.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Visitors will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
The process
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. At midsummer, events in Nunhead stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- 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.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Clear the route for the van
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
Getting a price

Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The menu and how many choices
- How long we serve
- The minimum booking
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: use our quote form.
Where the van can park in Nunhead
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- Details of any power or water on site
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
Nunhead 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue run by volunteers, a van means volunteers can enjoy the day. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
