About our party fish and chip van in Adelphi
Sausage and chips covers the children and anyone who does not want fish, so nobody needs a separate meal. On the menu are sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for birthday parties and street parties and neighbourhood events.
In Adelphi, a party at home is the usual choice, and parking is the question. If you have a drive, the van can frequently go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. A photo helps. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. At midsummer, it is light in Adelphi until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Get permission for the van from the venue

We park on the agreed spot and set up, and serve as the party carries on.

Planning a party in Adelphi
Adelphi is about 1 mile south-east of Marylebone, in Greater London. Give us the address of your party in Adelphi, and we will plan access and set-up before the day. Adelphi is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover.
If you had Victoria Embankment Gardens in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans can’t simply park up and serve in a public park. If guests are coming by rail, there is a station right in Adelphi: London Charing Cross station.
We serve parties across W1D, W1F and WC2H and the streets around it. We can serve a party on streets such as York Road, Drury Lane and Maiden Lane or the roads around them, wherever the van can park.

Other occasions in Adelphi
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
As a London location, Adelphi is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
Adelphi questions
Is parking a problem for the van in Adelphi?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
What’s the nearest station to Adelphi?
Adelphi has its own station: London Charing Cross station.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you need power or water from us?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Tell us what’s available and we will take it from there.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
