Planning a chip van in Crooked Billet
Crooked Billet is about 1 mile west of Wimbledon, in Greater London. People in Crooked Billet book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. We serve 764 places across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is London, about 8 miles away.
Thinking of using Cannizaro Park? Parks typically need the owner’s permission, frequently the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. For a fundraiser at a school like Wimbledon College, the van can trade from a pitch agreed with the school.
This part of Greater London takes in SW19 and SW20, so your event can be anywhere in it. Whether your event is on Camp Road, Mckay Road and Pepys Road or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. We also bring the van to events in Copse Hill (1 mile south-west), Wimbledon (1 mile east), Bushey Mead (1 mile south), Wimbledon Chase (1 mile south-east) and Kingston Vale (1 mile north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover London (8 miles north-east), City of Westminster (7 miles north-east), Marylebone (8 miles north-east), Kensington (6 miles north), St Pancras (9 miles north-east) and Shoreditch (10 miles north-east).
A little further out are Wimbledon Museum (0.5 miles east) and Coombe (1.6 miles west). The countryside around Crooked Billet includes Kew Gardens Lake and Henman Hill.
- Nearby schools include Ursuline Preparatory School (within half a mile south-east) and Hollymount School (0.5 miles south)
- Nearby, you will find The Fox and Grapes pub (less than half a mile north)
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Count children separately
- Put allergy details in writing
- Put bins and napkins by the van
Fish and chips is best eaten straight away, so we cook as people come up to the hatch.
Tables or benches nearby help people eat comfortably.
What happens on the day
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. Evenings in Crooked Billet stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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 guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
FAQs for Crooked Billet
Is parking a problem for the van in Crooked Billet?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
We are gathering after a service at Christ Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you feed plenty of people?
It can be. Give us your numbers and service time, and we’ll tell you honestly how service will work.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
