How our party fish and chip van works in Chalk Farm
You do not need to hire a hall: the van makes your home the party venue. For get-togethers with old friends and summer garden parties, we can cook sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips and more.
Planning a London party in Chalk Farm? A chip van keeps you out of the kitchen, and works on drives, in yards and at hired halls. Mention any parking restrictions. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. In Chalk Farm, 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.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Tell us when you want to eat
Ask for a quote
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.

Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
