Fish and chip van for events for your event in Wimbledon
Everything is cooked as people come up, so it’s hot and crisp. Typical bookings include sports club events and race days and village fêtes, serving mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
Events in Wimbledon range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Public spaces usually need council permission, and the van needs a pitch it can reach. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.

Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
