Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; once it’s dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Is a fish and chip van right for you?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot, so it’s crisp when it’s handed over.

- A clear list of what’s included
- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun
- How much space the van takes up
- The minimum number of meals or minimum spend
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Plan bins near the queue
Once everyone is fed, we pack up, leaving the pitch tidy.
Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.
FAQs for SW1X
Does a chip van work for big events?
It depends on numbers and timings. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.

Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.

Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
