For planners, venues and organisers
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Hosting at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
Step by step
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. Sunset in Rotherhithe in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Send us your December date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- We plan a lit, sheltered spot for the van and queue.
- We cook to order and serve from the hatch on time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it’s on the menu.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
