In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in WD6? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Planning the van’s spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A spot near your guests
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Is a fish and chip van right for you?
Cold buffets are easy but forgettable, and nothing’s hot on a cool evening. Fish and chips is fried to order and served hot.

WD6: your questions answered
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Both are on our menu; we’ll agree the choice when we quote.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
Frequently, yes. Give us your numbers and service time, and we will tell you honestly how service will work.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
