Your questions about a fish and chip van in Hyde farm estate
Could you trade in Wandsworth Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
We are gathering after a service at St. Stephen's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- A short menu helps everyone
- Confirm allergies by email
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease

A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.
A chip van compared with other options
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot, so the batter is still crisp. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Why book with us
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Bookings across Greater London, including Hyde farm estate
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.

What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Lighting nearby for evening events
As a London location, Hyde farm estate is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
