Abbey Wood questions
What’s the nearest station to Abbey Wood?
Abbey Wood station, about 0.5 miles north-east of the centre.
What about parking in Abbey Wood?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before you book.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Can you do something for the children?
Sausage and chips, generally. Let us know numbers and ages.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Will the van fit on our drive?
Frequently, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send a picture of the drive and the way in.
Party fish and chip van for your party in Abbey Wood
We park on the drive or a firm spot near the party, with the hatch facing your guests. Typical bookings include kids’ birthday parties and big birthdays, with gravy, cod and chips and curry sauce.
Most parties in Abbey Wood are at home, and in London that usually means a drive or street parking. If you have a drive, the van can frequently go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. Send us a photo. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Where the van can park in Abbey Wood
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Abbey Wood is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Why book with us
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Classic food your guests already know
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Nothing for you to cook or clear

How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. A summer party in Abbey Wood stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

- On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.

Working with your venue
