How our fish and chip van hire works in Wimbledon Park
There is something generous about fish and chips: big pieces of fish, crisp batter and a mountain of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. We serve curry sauce, cod and chips and gravy, and we’re regularly asked to cater evening wedding food and summer garden parties.
Streets in Wimbledon Park are often tight, which makes off-street parking, such as a drive, a school playground or a car park, the easiest option. Send us a picture of the spot. Timings are planned around your event, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Planning the van’s spot
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. The main points are:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
Wimbledon Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Tell us how many children are coming
Fish and chips is best eaten right away, so we fry to order as the queue moves.
Tell people when the van opens, so they do not miss out.
Wimbledon Park: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Luke: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can the van park in King George's Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Can the van park on grass?
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.
Cod or haddock?
Let us know which you’d prefer and we’ll confirm what we can offer.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Wimbledon Park.
Is it a full meal?
It can be. A portion of fish, chips and peas is a proper meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
What affects the price in Wimbledon Park
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy the site is to reach
- How long we serve
- Any minimum charge
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Your date and serving time
- The venue or postcode
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. Just use our quote form.
The process
The first sign we’ve arrived is generally the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Around midsummer it stays light in Wimbledon Park until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- 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 arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Have a level parking spot ready
