A chip van near Blackheath
How our party fish and chip van works in Blackheath
A chip van also works for street parties, with the right permissions in place. Popular choices include cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we’re often booked for naming days and christenings and children’s parties.
Most parties in Blackheath are at home, and in London that typically means a drive or street parking. A drive is ideal; otherwise, check what’s allowed on the street. Send us a picture. Everything is fried fresh at your party, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Among the historic houses close to Blackheath are Queen's House (0.9 miles north-west) and Eltham Palace (2.3 miles south-east).

The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. In Blackheath, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Let us know the serving time

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Blackheath
Is parking a problem for the van in Blackheath?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
What’s the nearest station to Blackheath?
Blackheath has its own station: Blackheath station.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.
Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
A chip van compared with other options
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van gives people a choice. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
