A chip van near Queen's Park
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Winter fairs in Queen's Park are dark by about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there’s light until about 8:55pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Let us know the serving time

Common questions in Queen's Park
Could you trade in Queen’s Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Queen's Park?
Queen's Park has its own station: Queens Park (London) station.
What about visitors who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Can the van come to our fair?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information and we’ll let you know if we are available.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- How many people are eating
- Distance and any road charges
- Service time
- Your choice of menu
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The date and time of the event
- The address or venue name
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Agree when volunteers will eat
Mark out the queue area away from walkways, especially near rides and games.
Let visitors know there’s a chip van.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- Space for a queue away from paths
Queen's Park 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 you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
On the menu in Queen's Park
- Curry sauce

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
For a stall visitors will queue for, a chip van is hard to beat in Queen's Park. There is 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. We set everything out in your quote.
