Fish and chip van for events for Sewardstone events
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- A clear route onto the pitch
- Confirmation the van can trade there
As a London location, Sewardstone 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 will advise before booking.

About our fish and chip van for events in Sewardstone
We trade at village fêtes, school fairs, sports days, festivals and shows, from small community events to bigger crowds. We are often asked to cater food for volunteers and agricultural and country shows, serving mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips.
In Sewardstone, a chip van suits school fairs and street parties. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

What else we do in Sewardstone
How it works
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. The frying and serving are down to us. Summer fêtes in Sewardstone have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm.
- It starts with your event and pitch details.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want to eat
How to get a price
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.
Planning help
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Make sure allergen information is available
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Plan bins near food stalls
We set up before visitors arrive, at the agreed time.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
A chip van compared with other options
Most events have a burger van. A chip van gives visitors something different. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why book with us
- A clear quote before you book
- No kitchen needed
- Quick service from the hatch

Common questions in Sewardstone
Is parking a problem for the van in Sewardstone?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Can the van park in Lee Valley Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
That varies: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We’ll agree it in writing.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What about visitors who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
How big a pitch do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Mention any power or water.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
