Fish and chip van hire for Motspur Park events

Before you choose a spot

We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

  • A clear area by the serving hatch
  • Somewhere close to where people will eat
  • Permission from the venue or landowner for the van

As a London location, Motspur Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Fish and chip van hire in Motspur Park, fried fresh

Rain does not stop a fish and chip van, because the fryers are inside. That makes it a safe bet for British events. We are frequently asked to cater community events and fairs and evening wedding food, serving mushy peas, cod and chips and gravy.

London streets around Motspur Park can be narrow and lined with parked cars, which makes off-street parking, such as a drive, a school playground or a car park, the easiest option. Tell us what you have. Everything is fried fresh at your event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

How the day works

If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. Light matters for evening service: around Motspur Park, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Getting ready for the day

  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Clear the route for the van
  • Have a level parking spot ready

Allergies and dietary needs

We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:

  • Plan bins near the queue
  • Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
  • Confirm allergies by email
  • Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans

You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and stay in touch about any changes.

Motspur Park: your questions answered

What about parking in Motspur Park?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.

Which station is closest to Motspur Park?

New Malden station, about 0.5 miles south-west of the centre.

Is everything cooked fresh?

Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.

What does it cost to hire the van?

It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.

Can fish and chips be the only food?

It can be. Fish and chips with mushy peas is a full meal.

What do we need to supply?

Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.

What do you bring?

The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

What does the van need?

Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.

Should I sort the food myself?

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

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.

Who books fish and chip van hire in Motspur Park?

Hot food on a cold or wet day is hard to beat, and the van keeps frying whatever the weather.

These are some of the bookings we take:

  • Fêtes, fairs and school events
  • Fish and chip days at care homes
  • Wakes and gatherings after a funeral
  • Summer garden parties

Coming by train? New Malden station is about 0.5 miles away.

Choosing a fish and chip van

A chip van compared with other options

Barbecues cook in batches, and someone has to stand over the grill. With a van, the host gets to enjoy the day. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Why Motspur Park hosts choose us

  • No surprises in your quote
  • Nothing for you to cook or clear
  • Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
  • Everything cooked to order at your event

Working with your venue

For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
