Planning an event in Stockwell?
The process
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your event. Evening events in Stockwell have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Share the timings for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Clear the route for the van

How our fish and chip van for events works in Stockwell
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, which helps volunteer-run events. Typical bookings include church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and sports tournaments, with sausage and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.
In Stockwell, street events mean planning closures and access. Send us the pitch and timings. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Stockwell questions
What about parking in Stockwell?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Do you trade at school fairs around Stockwell?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can the van come to Stockwell?
Yes, we do. Stockwell is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Tell us about the pitch
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
- Agree when volunteers will eat
When the event closes, we pack up.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
One good hot-food van can be enough at a smaller event. Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
