How our fish and chip van for events works in Sudbury
We bring the van and everything we need to cook, so we need little help from busy volunteers. We are often asked to cater church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and summer fairs, with curry sauce, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
London street parties and fairs in Sudbury need careful planning around road closures and access. Send us the pitch and timings. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Share pitch details
- Ensure allergen information is available
- Agree when volunteers will eat
Agree a wet-weather pitch on hard standing.
Pre-sold meal tickets can help at fundraisers.
Space, access and the venue
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
Sudbury 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried 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.
Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
Common questions in Sudbury
Can you come to a school fair in Sudbury?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Could you trade in Preston Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
Tell us how your event normally works with traders, and we will agree terms.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Running an event in Sudbury
Sudbury is about 1 mile south-west of Wembley, in Greater London. Whether your event is in the middle of Sudbury or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. Sudbury is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is London, about 10 miles away.
A school like Sudbury Primary School can book the van for a fair, fun run or sports day. If your event is in Preston Park, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission for vehicles and traders.
Events anywhere in HA0, UB6 and HA1 start with a parking spot for the van. Whether your event is on Elms Lane, Harrow Road and Perrin Road or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the van to you. Sudbury sits on or near the A4005, which makes travel to your event easy. Other places close to Sudbury we cover include Sudbury Hill (1 mile east), North Wembley (1 mile east), Brondesbury Park (1 mile east), Harrow on the Hill (1 mile north-west) and Perivale (1 mile south). Further out, we also take the van to London (10 miles east), City of Westminster (8 miles east), Marylebone (8 miles east), Kensington (6 miles south-east), St Pancras (9 miles east) and Shoreditch (11 miles east).

What happens on the day
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Summer events in Sudbury have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- 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.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Give us a contact for the day
How to get a price
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning help
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Cod, haddock or both
- How easy the site is to reach
- The length of service
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of where the van would go
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Expected numbers
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will check availability straight away.
