Fish and chip van for events for Perry Vale events
Perry Vale: your questions answered
Can you come to a school fair in Perry Vale?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Could you trade in Mayow Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Can you trade at our fête or festival?
Tell us the date and pitch details and we’ll check.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How big a pitch do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Tell us about power and water.
How our fish and chip van for events works in Perry Vale
School fairs and sports days work well with a chip van, once the school agrees where the van goes. We’re often asked to cater school summer fairs and sports tournaments, with sausage and chips, mushy peas and chips.
In Perry Vale, a chip van suits school fairs and street parties. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The address or venue name
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Your date and serving time
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
About the food
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Display allergens for each stall
- Settle the pitch terms early
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch.
Tables and seating nearby help families eat.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food brings people in on cooler days. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- Something for visitors to gather round
- No kitchen needed
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Everything cooked to order at your event

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
Where the van can park in Perry Vale
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. What matters most:
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
Perry Vale is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
