A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.

Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
Where the van can park in Notting Dale
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:

- A spot near your guests
Notting Dale 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.

The process
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. By late September, sunset in Notting Dale is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Give us a contact for the day
Getting a price
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Planning help
A chip van compared with other options
With a barbecue, somebody ends up cooking all afternoon. With a van, nobody misses the event. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Why us?
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
What affects the price in Notting Dale
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Access and parking
- The number of meals
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name
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 use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Plan bins near the queue
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We park, set up, fry and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
A string of bunting by the van makes a lovely photo.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Common questions in Notting Dale
Can the van park in Emslie Horniman's Pleasance?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What about parking in Notting Dale?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
