About our fish and chip van for events in St Ann's
A chip van suits school fairs and sports days, with the school’s permission for the van on site. We’re frequently asked to cater crew and volunteer catering and village fêtes, with mushy peas, chips and haddock and chips.
In St Ann's, street events mean planning closures and access. Send us the pitch and timings. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Organising for someone else?
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or venue name
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. To get started, fill in our quote form.
Common questions in St Ann's
What about parking in St Ann's?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Could you trade in Chestnuts Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How do you charge at fêtes?
That varies: pitch fee, percentage or minimum. We will agree it in writing.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
- Plan bins near food stalls
Have a hard-standing back-up pitch in case the ground is soft.
Tables and seating nearby help families eat.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day typically runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. In St Ann's, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:20pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Let us know the serving time

No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- What’s available on the pitch
- A clear route onto the pitch
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
As a London location, St Ann's is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
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.

A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue run by volunteers, a chip van frees your helpers. 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. Your quote spells it all out.
