What happens on the day

Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Sunset in Benhilton is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.

  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.

Party fish and chip van in Benhilton, fried fresh

Everything is cooked as people come up, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. We serve gravy, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we are frequently booked for anniversaries and engagement parties and get-togethers with old friends.

Throwing a party in Benhilton? A chip van keeps you out of the kitchen, and works on drives, in yards and at hired halls. Tell us about parking permits. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

What a fish and chip van costs

Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:

  • Numbers
  • The minimum booking
  • Parking and the way in
  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays

The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Details that help

For a quote, it helps to have:

  • A picture of where the van would go
  • The address or venue name
  • Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
  • The spot you have in mind for the van

Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.

Common questions in Benhilton

Can the van park in Manor Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.

What’s the nearest station to Benhilton?

Sutton Common station, in Benhilton itself.

Can the van park on the street?

That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

Can the van come to our street party?

Frequently, yes. Start the road closure application early.

Can you park at our house?

Normally, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send us a photo and tell us about gates and branches.

Do we need to provide equipment?

We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

Who clears up?

We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

How quickly can you serve everyone?

A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.

Where the van can park in Benhilton

A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:

  • Flat, firm ground for the van
  • Space for people to queue at the hatch
  • Access wide and high enough for the van

As a London location, Benhilton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

Let the neighbours know the van is coming, or invite them.
