The process
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. In Wallington, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get an access check and a clear price.
- On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Make sure the van can park legally
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Show us where the van would go
- Have a back-up for special diets
Plan where the queue stands if the van is on the drive.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
FAQs for Wallington
Can you serve after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Wallington?
Wallington station, in Wallington itself.
Can the van park on my drive?
Often, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send us a picture and tell us about gates and branches.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you come to Wallington?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Wallington. To check your date, use our quote form.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so ask early.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.

What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:

- How many people are eating

Getting an accurate quote
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Where the van can park in Wallington
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these 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, Wallington 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 will advise before booking.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce
- Pie and chips
- Chips
- Gravy
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
