- The number of meals
- The minimum booking
- Parking and the way in
- Distance and any road charges
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 party.

- A picture of the space and the way in
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Roughly how many people, including children

FAQs for East Molesey
Could you trade in Cigarette Island Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is East Molesey from London?
Roughly 13 miles from the centre of London.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- A spot near your guests
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

About the food
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Working with your venue
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.
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
How it works
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Autumn and winter parties in East Molesey get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Give us a contact for the day
