About our party fish and chip van in Wimbledon Park

Food is fried to order, so it is hot and crisp, not left out on a table for hours. We’re often asked to cater family reunions and children’s parties, serving sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.

Planning a London party in Wimbledon Park? A chip van keeps you out of the kitchen, at home, at a hall or at a club. Mention any parking restrictions. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Allergies and dietary needs

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

  • Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
  • Mention the van to neighbours
  • Ask guests about allergies when they reply
  • Give us separate numbers for children

We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.

A few lights around the van look great.

What happens on the day

Here’s how the day typically runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. Sunset in Wimbledon Park is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.

  1. You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We check access for the van and send a quote.
  3. On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
  4. We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
  5. We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
  • Plan where the queue will stand

Ask for a quote

Each quote is put together for your party. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.

Common questions in Wimbledon Park

Could you trade in King George's Park?

Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.

Can you serve after a service at Church of St Luke?

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. Tell us where you’ll gather.

Do you fry it on site?

Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.

How do you handle allergies?

Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.

Which areas do you serve?

London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.

How fast is service?

It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.

Is grass a problem?

That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.

What’s on the menu?

The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.

Perfect for your party in Wimbledon Park

Fresh food beats a tired buffet.

We can help if you are planning any of the following:

  • Summer garden parties
  • Anniversaries and engagement parties
  • Christenings and naming days
  • Leaving parties

If the day starts at Church of St Luke, the van can be ready at the house when everyone arrives.

Questions to ask before booking

  • How many hours the van serves
  • When final numbers are due
  • What happens if plans change
  • The minimum number of meals or minimum spend

How to compare vans

Sausage and chips

Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.

Gravy

Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party

We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:

  • How easy the site is to reach
  • How many people are eating
  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • How far we travel

Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.

Getting an accurate quote

These details help us quote quickly:

  • Anything awkward about the way in
  • Where the event is
  • Expected numbers
  • Your date and serving time

It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Hiring a hall and a caterer adds up. A van on the drive keeps it simple. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Why book with us

  • Classic food your guests already know
  • Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
  • All the chip-shop extras
  • Quick service from the hatch

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

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.

Parties in Wimbledon Park: homes, halls and local tips

Wimbledon Park is about 1 mile north of Wimbledon, in Greater London. Wherever your party is in the SW19 area, we’ll come to your venue, home or workplace. Wimbledon Park is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we bring the van. You can also see our page for London, about 7 miles away.

Within reach of Wimbledon Park are historic houses such as Southside House (1.8 miles south-west) and Fulham Palace (2.4 miles north). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules. For party guests on the train, Earlsfield station is about 1 mile away.

This part of Greater London takes in SW19 and SW18, and we can serve your party anywhere in it. Whether your party is on Dora Road, Church Road and Arthur Road or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the van to you. Wimbledon Park sits on or near the A218, which makes travel to your party easy. Nearby, we also serve parties in Wimbledon (1 mile south), Crooked Billet (1 mile south-west), Copse Hill (2 miles south-west), Merton Park (2 miles south) and Wimbledon Chase (2 miles south). Further out, we also take the van to London (7 miles north-east), City of Westminster (6 miles north-east), Marylebone (6 miles north-east), Kensington (4 miles north), St Pancras (7 miles north-east) and Shoreditch (8 miles north-east).

Space, access and the venue

A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:

  • Lighting nearby for evening events
  • A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
  • Somewhere close to where people will eat

Wimbledon Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
