About our party fish and chip van in Bowes Park
A chip van also works for street parties, once the council has agreed the road closure. We are often asked to cater milestone birthdays and summer garden parties, with haddock and chips, gravy and curry sauce.
In Bowes Park, a party at home is the usual choice, and parking is the question. A drive is ideal; otherwise, check what’s allowed on the street. Send us a photo. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Bowes Park: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at St Mary's Greek Orthodox Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Could you trade in Woodside Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you need power or water from us?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Tell us what’s available and we will take it from there.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Bowes Park?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your party and we will send a quote.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Bowes Park?
A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. 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. We set everything out in your quote.
Why Bowes Park hosts choose us
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- A quote that spells everything out
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Nothing for you to cook or clear

How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Midsummer parties in Bowes Park stay bright 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.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Ensure the van can get in
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
