Fish and chip van hire for your event in Lower Morden
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather doesn’t stop us. It’s a dependable choice for events in any season. We’re often asked to cater summer garden parties and wakes and gatherings after a funeral, with curry sauce, haddock and chips and gravy.
Around Lower Morden, most London bookings are at homes with a drive, workplaces with a car park, schools and halls. The thing to plan is where the van stops, so tell us about driveways, parking bays or a council suspension when you ask for a quote. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Plan bins near the queue
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Keep the menu short and the queue moves quickly, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.
Let everyone know when the food is ready.
What happens on the day
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Around midsummer it stays light in Lower Morden 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’s dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
