Party fish and chip van in Copse Hill, cooked to order
Guests who do not know each other end up chatting in the queue. Whether it’s retirement parties and street parties and neighbourhood events, we can cook sausage and chips, cod and chips and gravy and more.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
What a fish and chip van costs
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Whether a minimum applies
- How long we serve
- Travel, tolls and road charges
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Your date and serving time
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your party, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Show us where the van would go
- Send allergies to us in writing
We park on the agreed spot and set up, then serve as guests come up.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
Where the van can park in Copse Hill
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
As a London location, Copse Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
