A chip van near Walworth
How it works
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. In Walworth, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- 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.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Ordering a takeaway for a crowd means long waits and food that cools on the journey. The van cooks right there, so it’s crisp when it’s handed over. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why us?
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Bookings across Greater London, including Walworth

FAQs for Walworth
Is parking a problem for the van in Walworth?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Could you trade in Nursery Row Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

What the van needs

- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Confirmation that the van can park there
As a London location, Walworth is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
