Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Merton Park
What about parking in Merton Park?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Which station is closest to Merton Park?
South Merton station, about 0.5 miles south of the centre.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Mention power and water and we’ll confirm the rest.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you cover Merton Park?
We do. Merton Park is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Let your neighbours know
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
Let the neighbours know the van is coming, or invite them.
Finish with the birthday cake.
Planning the van’s spot
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A short walk from the party
Merton Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Gravy

- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
Ordering in for a crowd means long waits. The van cooks right there. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
