Party fish and chip van for your party in New Malden
The queue at the hatch gets people mixing. We’re often asked to cater neighbourhood get-togethers and milestone birthdays, with haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
Most parties in New Malden are at home, and in London that usually means a drive or street parking. A drive is ideal; otherwise, check what’s allowed on the street. A photo helps. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

How the day works
You’ll know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. At midsummer, it’s light in New Malden 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.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A short walk from the party
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Lighting nearby for evening events
As a London location, New Malden is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in New Malden
Can you serve after a service at New Malden Baptist Church?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
Can the van park in Beverley Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What do children eat?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include them in your numbers.
Why choose a fish and chip van in New Malden?

Why us?
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- Your choice of menu
- How long we serve
- Travel, tolls and road charges
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
