Party fish and chip van in Charing Cross, fried fresh
A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. The van parks, the fryers go on and the food goes out hot. On the menu are mushy peas, pie and chips and gravy, and typical bookings are for get-togethers with old friends and naming days and christenings.
In Charing Cross, 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. A picture helps. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Flat, firm ground for the van

As a London location, Charing Cross is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Questions from Charing Cross
Could you trade in Victoria Embankment Gardens?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you serve after a service at St Martin-in-the-Fields?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
When should we book for a summer party?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Contact us with your date.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Can the van come to Charing Cross?
Yes, we do. Charing Cross is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.

Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.

- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
