Party fish and chip van for your party in Birch Hill
A chip van also works for street parties, once the council has agreed the road closure. We are frequently asked to cater kids’ birthday parties and milestone birthdays, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
For a party in Birch Hill, home is often the best venue. Let us know how the van reaches the house, and we will do the rest. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Birch Hill: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church?
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.
How far is Birch Hill from London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Is grass a problem?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Will the van fit on our drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Mention anything tight, and we’ll tell you honestly.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Let your neighbours know
- Ensure the van can park legally
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
With children, food about an hour in works well.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.

Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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 is crisp.
