A chip van near Blackwall
How our party fish and chip van works in Blackwall
Guests who do not know each other end up chatting in the queue. We are often asked to cater summer garden parties and neighbourhood get-togethers, with gravy, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
Most parties in Blackwall are at home, and in London that normally means a drive or street parking. If you have a drive, the van can frequently go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. Send us a picture. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- The date and time of year
- Cod, haddock or both
- The number of meals
- Parking and the way in
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Any dietary needs and allergies
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Let your neighbours know
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Show us where the van would go
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in, before the cake.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.

The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
