The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. At midsummer, it is light in Sutton Common until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know the serving time

Party fish and chip van in Sutton Common, fried fresh
A chip van also works for street parties, once the council has agreed the road closure. We’re often asked to cater neighbourhood get-togethers and christenings and naming days, with cod and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
In Sutton Common, 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. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.

What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

Sutton Common questions
Could you trade in Morden Hall Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Sutton Common?
St Helier station, in Sutton Common itself.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
