A chip van compared with other options
A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and nothing’s hot on a cool evening. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
What you get with us
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Quick service from the hatch
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
New Malden is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- How long we serve
- The day of the week
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How many people are eating
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Expected numbers
- A picture of the parking spot
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where the event is
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.
