Questions from Selhurst
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mark?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What about parking in Selhurst?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Cod or haddock?
Both are on our menu; tell us which you’d like for your event.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can the van come to Selhurst?
We do. Selhurst is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Around midsummer it stays light in Selhurst until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Share the timings for the day

Why choose a fish and chip van in Selhurst?
Cold buffets are easy but forgettable, and there is nothing warming on a chilly day. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
