How our fish and chip van hire works in Wimbledon Chase
Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so every portion goes out hot and crisp. Whether it is garden parties and summer get-togethers and work Christmas parties, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, haddock and chips and mushy peas and more.
London streets around Wimbledon Chase can be narrow and lined with parked cars, so a drive, yard or car park is generally simplest. Tell us what you have. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Wimbledon Chase?
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
Why book with us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site

Common questions in Wimbledon Chase
Can you serve after a service at St Mary's Church?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Could you trade in Cannon Hill Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.

The process
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests normally gather round the hatch once service starts. In Wimbledon Chase, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- 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.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch at the agreed time.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Plan where the queue will stand

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
Keep the menu short and the queue moves quickly.
