Questions from Oval
Could you trade in Vauxhall Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Oval?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you need power or water from us?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Tell us what’s available and we’ll take it from there.
How our party fish and chip van works in Oval
A chip van also works for street parties, with the right permissions in place. For kids’ birthday parties and retirement parties, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
In Oval, a party at home is the usual choice, and parking is the question. A drive is ideal; otherwise, check what’s allowed on the street. A photo helps. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What affects the price in Oval
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The minimum booking
- How many people are eating
- How far we travel
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, use our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
As a London location, Oval is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: 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 will say what we think.
