Party fish and chip van for Cambridge Heath events

Before you choose a spot

If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you. The main points are:

  • A short walk from the party
  • A lit spot if service runs after dark
  • Flat, firm ground for the van

Cambridge Heath is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How our party fish and chip van works in Cambridge Heath

Sausage and chips covers the children and anyone who does not want fish, so nobody needs a separate meal. We’re often asked to cater retirement celebrations and milestone birthdays, serving sausage and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce.

Most parties in Cambridge Heath 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. A photo helps. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

What a fish and chip van costs

Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

  • Cod, haddock or both
  • Numbers
  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • How long we serve

There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

Getting an accurate quote

To speed things up, tell us:

  • Where the van would park
  • The address or venue name
  • A picture of where the van would go
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

Each quote is put together for your party. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Ordering in for a crowd means long waits. A van fries on the spot. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.

Why book our van in Cambridge Heath

For planners, venues and organisers

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.

Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

The process

We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Midsummer parties in Cambridge Heath stay bright until about 9:20pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you’re eating late.

  1. You share your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive in good time to set up.
  4. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
  5. We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.

Before we arrive

  • Have a level parking spot ready
  • Give us your final numbers and allergies
  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Getting a price

Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

Our booking checklist

Takeaway run or book a van?

For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Cambridge Heath

Is parking a problem for the van in Cambridge Heath?

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.

We are gathering after a service at St James-the-Less: can you come?

Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.

Can the van come to our street party?

Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Tell the council about the van.

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.

Can you park at our house?

That depends on the space and the route in. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll tell you honestly.

Is grass a problem?

It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.

How do you handle allergies?

Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.

Do we need to provide equipment?

All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.

Food your guests will love

Haddock and chips

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Gravy

In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
