Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in South Lambeth? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.

South Lambeth questions
Could you trade in Vauxhall Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
What about parking in South Lambeth?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you come to South Lambeth?
Yes, we do. We serve events in South Lambeth and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What the van needs
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
As a London location, South Lambeth is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Quick service from the hatch
- All the chip-shop extras
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
See our pricing and our guide to van hire costs.
How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. Autumn and winter parties in South Lambeth 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.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Let your neighbours know
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- A photo of the parking spot helps
- Arrange an alternative if needed
It is worth telling the neighbours.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
