Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. At midsummer, it is light in Denmark Hill until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, tell us about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

What about parking in Denmark Hill?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How do you handle allergies?

What else we do in Denmark Hill
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
