Party fish and chip van in Bexley Riverside
How our party fish and chip van works in Bexley Riverside
We park on the drive or a firm spot near the party, with the hatch facing your guests. Popular choices include curry sauce, cod and chips and pie and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater family parties with children and street parties and neighbourhood events.
Most parties in Bexley Riverside 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. A picture helps. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

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

A chip van compared with other options

What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The day of the week
- How easy the site is to reach
- How long we serve
- Travel, tolls and road charges
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
These details help us quote quickly:
- The venue or postcode
- Expected numbers
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and time of the event
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Bexley Riverside questions
Is parking a problem for the van in Bexley Riverside?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Can the van park in Braeburn Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Bexley Riverside.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Can the van park on my drive?
That depends on the space and the route in. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we will advise.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Perfect for your party in Bexley Riverside
It suits all ages, which makes it perfect for family celebrations.
The van suits big events and small ones. Common bookings include:
- Children’s parties
- Retirement celebrations
- Naming days and christenings
- Garden parties and summer get-togethers
A christening at St Paul's followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the event is cancelled or moved
- When final numbers are due
- The service time, and the cost of running over
- Travel, tolls and road charges
How the day works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. At midsummer, it’s light in Bexley Riverside until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Clear the route for the van
