Party fish and chip van in Barkingside
About our party fish and chip van in Barkingside
The queue at the hatch gets people mixing. We serve curry sauce, haddock and chips and gravy, and we are regularly asked to cater kids’ birthday parties and big birthdays.
Most parties in Barkingside are at home, and in London that usually means a drive or street parking. If you have a drive, the van can often go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. Send us a picture. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

FAQs for Barkingside
What’s the nearest station to Barkingside?
The closest is Seven Kings station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
Can you serve after a service at Children's Church And Lych Gate At Barnardo's?
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 will gather.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
When should we book for a summer party?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so ask early.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you cover Barkingside?
We do. We serve events in Barkingside and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Show us where the van would go
Keep the queue away from the road if the van is on the drive.
A few lights around the van look great.
Step by step
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. At midsummer, it’s light in Barkingside 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.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Tell us when you want to eat

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- How far we travel
- Cod, haddock or both
- The number of meals
- The day of the week
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The address or venue name
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the van would park
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.

Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.

- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Flat, firm ground for the van
