Party fish and chip van for your party in City of London
There’s no need for a venue: the van makes your home the party venue. We’re often asked to cater kids’ birthday parties and naming days and christenings, serving sausage and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas.
Most parties in City of London are at home, and in London that normally means a drive or street parking. A drive is ideal; otherwise, check what’s allowed on the street. Send us a photo. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

City of London: your questions answered
Can the van park in St Alphage Garden?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What about parking in City of London?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Do you need power or water from us?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, City of London included. Find your area.
Step by step
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. For a late-May party in City of London, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. After dark, light the area around the van.
- First, tell us about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A spot near your guests
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
City of London 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 picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

For event organisers in City of London
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.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van gives people a choice. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

Keep the queue away from the road if the van is on the drive.
