  • Somewhere close to where people will eat
  • A lit spot if service runs after dark
  • Confirmation that the van can park there

As a London location, Nine Elms is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

How it works

Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Evening food at a Nine Elms wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.

  1. Share your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
  2. We check access at the venue and send a price.

  4. We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
  5. Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.

What comes out of the fryer

Haddock and chips

Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Curry sauce

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.

Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.

Is the fish gluten-free?

Do you have a kids’ option?

Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
