Fish and chip van for events in The Wrythe
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
- A clear route onto the pitch
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
As a London location, The Wrythe is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Chips
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
About our fish and chip van for events in The Wrythe
Organisers can book us as a trader, or to feed crew and volunteers, or both. Whether it is food for volunteers and fish and chip supper nights, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, sausage and chips and chips and more.
Street parties and school fairs in The Wrythe are a great fit for a chip van, once the permissions are in place. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Tell us about the pitch
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Share any nut or allergy policies
At the end, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
The menu, dish by dish
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.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently 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 will work through them with you.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

What else we do in The Wrythe
Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Summer fêtes in The Wrythe have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Tell us when you want to eat

The Wrythe questions
What’s the nearest station to The Wrythe?
Carshalton station, in The Wrythe itself.
Could you trade in Carshalton Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.

Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including The Wrythe and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, use our quote form.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
What can visitors choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.
