Bringing the van to Teddington
Teddington is about 5 miles west of Wimbledon, in Greater London. Around Teddington, we park wherever there is level, firm ground, close to your guests. We serve all 764 towns and villages in Greater London. Our bookings stretch from Teddington to London (11 miles away).
If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like St Mary's and St Peter's Church of England Primary School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. If you had Bushy Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans cannot simply park up and serve in a public park.
Events anywhere in TW11, TW12, TW2 and TW1 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many guests. Local streets include Station Road, High Street and Church Road; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. With the A311 and A313 close by, Teddington is simple for us to get to with the van. Close by, we cover events in Strawberry Hill (1 mile north), Fulwell (1 mile north-west), Hampton Hill (1 mile west), Ham (1 mile north-east) and Eel Pie Island (1 mile north). Larger places within reach include London (11 miles north-east), City of Westminster (10 miles north-east), Marylebone (10 miles north-east), Kensington (8 miles north-east), St Pancras (12 miles north-east) and Shoreditch (13 miles north-east).

Fish and chip van hire in Teddington, fried fresh
The queue at the hatch is part of the fun. People gather, catch up and get their food straight from the fryer. Whether it’s garden get-togethers and evening wedding food, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
London streets around Teddington 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. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

What else we do in Teddington
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work. The main points are:
- Confirmation that the van can park there

Teddington 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 you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in Teddington? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks right there, so it is crisp when it’s handed over. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Quick service from the hatch
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- No surprises in your quote
- A van that becomes part of the event

- Arrange an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Confirm allergies by email
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Fewer choices mean faster service
Fish and chips is at its best fresh from the fryer, so we cook as people come up to the hatch.

The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. By late September, sunset in Teddington is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- On the day, we park on the agreed spot and set up.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Common questions in Teddington
Could you trade in Bushy Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
Can you serve after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What happens when we hire the van?
The van parks at your venue, we fry fresh and serve from the hatch.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Which fish do you use?
Both are on our menu; tell us which you’d like for your event.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
