Party fish and chip van for Furzedown events
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
As a London location, Furzedown is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

How our party fish and chip van works in Furzedown
Everything is cooked as people come up, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. For anniversary celebrations and christenings and naming days, we can cook mushy peas, pie and chips and cod and chips and more.
In Furzedown, a party at home is the usual choice, and parking is the question. If you have a drive, the van can frequently go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. Send us a picture. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Questions from Furzedown
We are gathering after a service at St Paul's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Furzedown?
Tooting station, about 0.6 miles south-west of the centre.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your party and we’ll send a quote.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
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.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
It’s worth telling the neighbours.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy the site is to reach
- Cod, haddock or both
- Service time
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Allergies and diets you know about
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.

How the day works
There is very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your party. We handle the cooking and serving. Sunset in Furzedown 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.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check where the van can park and send a price.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
- We pack up when we’re done and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
