Fresh fish and chips in Belvedere

Party fish and chip van in Belvedere, fried fresh

Birthdays, garden parties, anniversaries and christenings all suit a fish and chip van. It is food every generation enjoys. For neighbourhood get-togethers and anniversaries and engagement parties, we can cook mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy for your guests.

In Belvedere, a party at home is the usual choice, and parking is the question. A drive is ideal; otherwise, check what’s allowed on the street. Send us a picture. Timings are planned around your party, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Diets, allergies and planning

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

  • Arrange an alternative if needed
  • Ensure the van can park legally
  • Send us a picture of the drive
  • Let your neighbours know

For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in, before the cake.

A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.

The process

The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. For a late-May party in Belvedere, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. After dark, light the area around the van.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
  5. We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.

Before we arrive

  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
  • Make sure the van can get in
  • Have a level parking spot ready

Prices and what affects them

Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:

  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • The length of service
  • How easy the site is to reach
  • Any minimum charge

Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Details that help

The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Please include:

  • The date and time of the event
  • A photo of the parking spot
  • The spot you have in mind for the van
  • Allergies and diets you know about

To get a price, use our quote form. Give us the details of your party, and we will check the date and send a price.

Food your guests will love

Haddock and chips

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.

Belvedere questions

Could you trade in Lesnes Abbey Woods?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.

We are gathering after a service at Parish Church of All Saints: can you come?

Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.

Do we need to provide anything?

A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Tell us what’s available and we’ll take it from there.

Is the fish gluten-free?

Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Can the van park on the street?

It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

Will the van fit on our drive?

That depends on the space and the route in. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll tell you honestly.

Can you cook in the rain?

We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.

When do you arrive?

We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.

Planning the van’s spot

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:

  • Access wide and high enough for the van
  • A spot near your guests
  • Room in front of the hatch for a queue

Belvedere is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Planners, venues and businesses

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Buffets are simple but rarely memorable. The van becomes part of the party. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

What you get with us

  • Fried fresh, not kept warm
  • Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
  • Hot food handed straight over
  • No kitchen needed
