About our party fish and chip van in Covent Garden
The van can park on a drive, a hardstanding or a firm lawn, with the serving hatch towards the garden. On the menu are cod and chips, mushy peas and gravy, and typical bookings are for family reunions and birthday parties.
In Covent Garden, a party at home is the usual choice, and parking is the question. If you have a drive, the van can frequently go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. A picture helps. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Planning the van’s spot
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
As a London location, Covent Garden is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Common questions in Covent Garden
Is parking a problem for the van in Covent Garden?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
We’re gathering after a service at Crown Court Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How early do summer dates go?
Summer weekends go first. Ask about your date.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Do you cover Covent Garden?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Covent Garden and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Can you do something for the children?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Tell us how many children to expect.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
