Party fish and chip van in Albany Park, fried fresh
It feels like a treat, but stays relaxed: fish and chips from the van, eaten in the garden. We’re frequently asked to cater leaving parties and family celebrations after a christening, with haddock and chips, pie and chips and curry sauce.
Planning a London party in Albany Park? A van means no cooking for you, at home, at a hall or at a club. Tell us about parking permits. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Albany Park
Can you serve after a service at St Lawrence church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Could you trade in Waring Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can you do something for the children?
Sausage and chips, generally. Let us know numbers and ages.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
A chip van compared with other options

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
