Fresh fish and chips in Putney
Fish and chip van for events in Putney, cooked to order
We trade at village fêtes, school fairs, sports days, festivals and shows, from small community events to bigger crowds. Whether it’s sports days and sports tournaments, we can cook chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
In Putney, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Public spaces usually need council permission, and we need a pitch the van can reach. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
A chip van compared with other options
Burger vans are common at events. Fish and chips adds variety. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

Putney events: pitches and permissions
Putney is about 1 mile south-west of Fulham, in Greater London. Putney is well within our area, so your event just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. Putney is one of 764 places in Greater London where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Putney to London (about 6 miles away).
For visitors coming by rail, Putney has its own station, Putney station. If your event is in Bishops Park, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission for vehicles and traders.
Here we cover the SW15, SW19 and SW13 postcode area. That could mean an event at a home on Putney High Street, Upper Richmond Road and Spencer Walk, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. Putney sits on or near the A3 and B306, so getting the van to your event is simple. For events just outside Putney, we cover Roehampton (1 mile south-west), Barnes (1 mile north-west), Fulham (1 mile north-east), Mortlake (2 miles west) and Wimbledon Park (2 miles south). We also serve nearby towns such as London (6 miles north-east), City of Westminster (5 miles north-east), Marylebone (5 miles north-east), Kensington (3 miles north), St Pancras (6 miles north-east) and Shoreditch (8 miles north-east).

Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- Space for a queue away from paths
- A clear route onto the pitch
Putney 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 will advise before you book.

- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips

Step by step
Changes on the day are fine: we’ll adjust start times and pace. At midsummer, events in Putney stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Let us know the serving time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.

Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.

That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.

Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.

The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
