About our fish and chip van hire in Wimbledon
A fish and chip van works almost anywhere the van can park: a drive, a car park, a yard, a showground or a firm lawn in and around Wimbledon. Whether it’s community events and fairs and staff thank-you lunches, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Around Wimbledon, most London bookings are at homes with a drive, workplaces with a car park, schools and halls. The thing to plan is where the van stops, so let us know about off-street space or permits. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Where the van can park in Wimbledon
We will be honest if a spot won’t work. The main points are:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Access wide and high enough for the van

Wimbledon: venues, parking and local tips
Wimbledon is about 7 miles south of City of Westminster, in Greater London. Wimbledon is well within our area, so your event just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. We take the van to all 764 towns and villages in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Wimbledon to London (about 7 miles away).
Parks such as Cannizaro Park normally need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first. If guests are travelling by rail, Wimbledon station serves Wimbledon directly.
We take the van to events all over the SW19, SW20, SW17 and SW18 postcode area and the streets around it. We can serve an event on streets such as High Street Mews, High Street and Church Road or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. Wimbledon sits on or near the A218 and B235, which makes travel to your event easy.

Wimbledon questions
Which station is closest to Wimbledon?
Wimbledon has its own station: Wimbledon station.
We are gathering after a service at St. Mark's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
What happens when we hire the van?
We arrive with the van, cook fresh on site, and serve at the time you want.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Barbecues cook in batches, and someone has to stand over the grill. With a van, nobody misses the event. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
