Across SM6, we serve 3 towns and 2 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Carshalton, The Wrythe and Wallington to a quiet hamlet: firm ground, access and agreed timings.
Wallington: Churches such as Church of the Holy Trinity rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by normally does. Coming by train? Wallington station serves Wallington directly. By late September, sunset in Wallington is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
How we price a fish and chip van
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- The number of meals
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Parking and the way in
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Expected numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary needs, with numbers
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
A chip van compared with other options
Ordering a takeaway for a crowd means long waits and food that cools on the journey. The van cooks right there, so the batter is still crisp.

FAQs for SM6
Does a chip van work for big events?
It depends on numbers and timings. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
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 be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
