Party fish and chip van in Bethnal Green
How our party fish and chip van works in Bethnal Green
A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. The van parks, the fryers go on and the food goes out hot. For children’s parties and birthday parties, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips for your guests.
Most parties in Bethnal Green 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. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

The process
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Sunset in Bethnal Green drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so think about lighting by the van.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Ensure the van can get in

As a London location, Bethnal Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: 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 booking.

FAQs for Bethnal Green
Could you trade in Bethnal Green Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve after a service at St Peter'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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What do children eat?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
