Rain doesn’t stop a fish and chip van, because the fryers are inside. That makes it a safe bet for British events. On the menu are pie and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for milestone birthday parties and wakes and gatherings after a funeral.
Around Petersham, most London bookings are at homes with a drive, workplaces with a car park, schools and halls.

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.

What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Petersham?
Barbecues cook in batches, and someone has to stand over the grill. With a van, the host gets to enjoy the day. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.
Why book with us
- All the chip-shop extras
- Events in Petersham and across Greater London
- Hot food handed straight over
- Classic food your guests already know
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
Petersham is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
