Party fish and chip van for Wimbledon events
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 solves that by cooking on site.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Party fish and chip van for your party in Wimbledon
A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. The van parks, the fryers go on and the food goes out hot. For leaving parties and street parties, we can cook pie and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips for your guests.
Throwing a party in Wimbledon? A van means no cooking for you, and works on drives, in yards and at hired halls. Tell us about parking permits. Timings are planned around your party, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The length of service
- The date and time of year
- Any minimum charge
- Cod, haddock or both
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:

Wimbledon: your questions answered
Can the van park in Cannizaro Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Wimbledon?
Wimbledon has its own station: Wimbledon station.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.

How it works
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. At midsummer, it’s light in Wimbledon until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
