The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas

Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
As a London location, Stockwell 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 picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Questions from Stockwell
Can you serve after a service at St. Andrew's?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Could you trade in Max Roach Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can the van come to Stockwell?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Stockwell and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Is there a kids’ option?
Sausage and chips, usually. Tell us how many children to expect.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How easy the site is to reach
- How many people are eating
- The minimum booking
- The menu and how many choices
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Expected numbers
- A picture of where the van would go
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The address or venue name
Send us the date, the address or SW9 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. Just use our quote form.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Hiring a hall and a caterer adds up. With a van, home becomes the venue. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
Why us?
- Classic food your guests already know
- A van that becomes part of the event
- A clear quote before you book
- Rain does not stop the fryers

How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and get on with frying and serving. At midsummer, it is light in Stockwell until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Give us a contact for the day
