What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.

A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a buffet, a van gives everyone a hot meal, which helps when numbers are hard to predict. 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 wake.
Why book with us
- A quote that spells everything out
- Hot food handed straight over

Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Name a contact for the day who isn’t close family
- Allow a little extra
- Tell us about any close family with allergies
- Arrange tea and coffee separately
Ensure older relatives can sit to eat.
Tea and coffee from the hall’s urn, or a friend’s tea table, goes well alongside.

There is very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your wake. We handle the cooking and serving. In Rosehill, it’s dark by about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit path to the van is a kindness to older guests.

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for family and friends.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

What affects the price in Rosehill
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- How far we travel
- The menu and how many choices
- Any minimum charge
- Service time
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the van would park
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, use our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A spot near your guests
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
Rosehill 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 are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Questions from Rosehill
Can you serve after a service at St Peter'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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.

Sutton Common station, about 0.8 miles south-west of the centre.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can someone else arrange it?

What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
