What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The menu and how many choices
- How easy the site is to reach
- Distance and any road charges
- The minimum booking
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- The address or venue name
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the van would park
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Let your neighbours know
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Arrange an alternative if needed
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.
Finish with the birthday cake.
Step by step
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. Sunset in City of Westminster is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Clear the route for the van
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in City of Westminster
Is parking a problem for the van in City of Westminster?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Which station is closest to City of Westminster?
City of Westminster has its own station: Bond Street station.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you park at our house?
That depends on the space and the route in. Mention anything tight, and we will tell you honestly.
How far ahead should we book a party?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Get in touch with your date.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Party venues around City of Westminster
City of Westminster is about 3 miles west of London, in Greater London. People in City of Westminster book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. We cover all 764 towns and villages in Greater London.
If you had Hyde Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans cannot simply park up and serve in a public park. A christening at St Mark's followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan.
We cover parties in every part of W2, NW8, W9 and SW1V and the streets around it. We can serve a party on streets such as Portman Square, Grosvenor Square and Cavendish Square or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere for the van. You will find City of Westminster on the A4 and A5, which makes the journey straightforward.

Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
City of Westminster is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
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.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
For a relaxed celebration, a fish and chip van is a great choice. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
