A chip van near Belgravia

What the van needs

Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:

  • A lit spot if service runs after dark
  • Room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Flat, firm ground for the van

Belgravia is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

About the food

Pie and chips

Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.

Diets, allergies and planning

Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:

  • Plan bins near the queue
  • Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
  • Collect allergies with your RSVPs
  • Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests

Fish and chips is at its best fresh from the fryer, so we cook as people come up to the hatch.

Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.

Events we cater in Belgravia

  • VAT, if it applies

Choosing a fish and chip van

How it works

We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Around midsummer it stays light in Belgravia until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.

  1. You share your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Getting ready for the day

  • Plan where the queue will stand
  • Share the timings for the day
  • Confirm the van is allowed on site

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.

Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:

  • How many people are eating
  • Your choice of menu
  • Travel, tolls and road charges
  • How long we serve

Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
