About fish and chip van hire in SW19

Because the cooking is in the van, the weather doesn’t stop us. It’s a dependable choice for events in any season. Typical bookings include birthday celebrations and village fêtes and school fairs, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.

We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat.

You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
We fry to order and serve from the hatch at the agreed time.
Afterwards, we clear up and head off.

Planning a chip van in SW19

Across SW19, we serve 3 towns and 1 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Wimbledon, Putney and Colliers Wood or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level spot, a clear way in and a plan.

Wimbledon: Coming by train? There is a station right in Wimbledon: Wimbledon station. PTAs at schools such as Wimbledon High School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Wimbledon, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

The menu, dish by dish

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

Cod and chips

Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.

What a fish and chip van costs

The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

How long we serve
Your choice of menu
Distance and any road charges
How many people are eating

Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.

Details that help

To speed things up, tell us:

The address or venue name
Anything awkward about the way in
Rough numbers for adults and children
Where you’d like the van to go

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, use our quote form.

Planning the van’s spot

The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:

A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
A lit spot if service runs after dark
Space for people to queue at the hatch

Working with your venue

Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

Planning for dietary needs

Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:

Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
Tell us how many children are coming

The fryers take a little while to heat, so we get there in good time. If plans change, tell us and we will adjust.

A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.

Questions from SW19

Is fish and chips enough as a meal?

Yes. A portion of fish, chips and peas is a proper meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.

Do you fry it on site?

Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

What can guests choose from?

The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

Do you have allergen information?

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

Do you do anything other than fish?

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.

Can you go on a lawn or field?

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

Do you bring everything you need?

The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
