FAQs for Oval
Is parking a problem for the van in Oval?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Can the van park in Vauxhall Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
Where will the van go at our venue?
That’s up to your venue, but close to the party is best. A photo of the area helps.
Do you cover Oval?
We do. We serve events in Oval and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Oval
Good evening food keeps people on the dance floor, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips after a long day. Whether it’s evening food for day and evening guests and vow renewals and anniversaries, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce for your guests.
Couples in Oval frequently hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The van needs somewhere off the road to park, such as a yard, car park or drive. In London, check vehicle access with the venue early. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Working with your venue

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Oval? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Evening food can be anything from bacon rolls to pizza. Fish and chips stands out because it is a proper hot meal. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
