How our party fish and chip van works in Castle Green
We park on the drive or a firm spot near the party, with the serving hatch towards the garden. Whether it’s summer garden parties and kids’ birthday parties, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips and more.
In Castle Green, a party at home is the usual choice, and parking is the question. If you have a drive, the van can frequently go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. Send us a photo. Everything is fried fresh at your party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Common questions in Castle Green
Can you serve after a service at St John the Divine?
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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can the van park in Mayesbrook Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Can you do something for the children?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Tell us how many children to expect.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before you book.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Who books party fish and chip van in Castle Green?
You don’t need a venue: a drive or firm lawn is enough.

Where the van can park in Castle Green
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
Castle Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
The process
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your party in Castle Green. In Castle Green, a June party has light 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.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
