What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Fish and chip van for events in Vauxhall, cooked to order
When there’s hot food, people stay longer. For sports tournaments and festivals, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
In Vauxhall, street events mean planning closures and access. Tell us the pitch details and timings. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Vauxhall events: pitches and permissions
Vauxhall is about 1 mile south-west of London, in Greater London. From the centre of Vauxhall to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. We serve all 764 towns and villages across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as St Peter's Church, a chip van adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. If your event is in Old Paradise Gardens, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission for vehicles and traders.
For events in SE11, SW1P and SW8, we just need to know where the van can park. Whether your event is on Gibson Road, Langley Lane and Randall Road or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. With the A3203 and A3204 close by, Vauxhall is simple for us to get to with the van. Other places close to Vauxhall we cover include Lambeth (1 mile north), Kennington (1 mile south), Oval (1 mile south), Newington Butts (1 mile east) and St George's Fields (1 mile north-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Kensington (4 miles west), Shoreditch (3 miles north-east), Walthamstow (8 miles north-east), Hoxton (3 miles north-east), Whitechapel (3 miles north-east) and Hampstead (5 miles north-west).

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Most events have a burger van. A chip van gives visitors something different. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many people are eating
- How long we serve
- The day of the week
- Cod, haddock or both
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people, including children
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. December events in Vauxhall lose the light at about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there’s light until about 8:50pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Tell us when you want to eat

Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
FAQs for Vauxhall
What’s the nearest station to Vauxhall?
Vauxhall has its own station: Vauxhall station.
Could you trade in Old Paradise Gardens?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What do you need on the pitch?
Send us the pitch details, and we will confirm.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
As a London location, Vauxhall is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
