Party fish and chip van in Bentley Heath, cooked to order
We park on the drive or a firm spot near the party, with the serving hatch towards the garden. We serve gravy, mushy peas and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for street parties and neighbourhood events and kids’ birthday parties.
In Bentley Heath, a party at home is the usual choice, and parking is the question. If you have a drive, the van can often go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. A photo helps. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Bentley Heath is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The number of meals
- Any minimum charge
- How far we travel
- Your choice of menu
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Expected numbers
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The date and time of the event
- Where you’d like the van to go
Still finalising the details? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, send us your details through our quote form.

How the day works
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Autumn and winter parties in Bentley Heath get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it’s on the menu.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
