What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
How our party fish and chip van works in Cranford
Birthdays, garden parties, anniversaries and christenings all suit a fish and chip van. It’s food every generation enjoys. We serve cod and chips, gravy and curry sauce, and we’re often booked for christenings and naming days and family parties with children.

Occasions we serve in Cranford
People book a chip van for parties because nobody has to cook. And it is fun.
Whatever the occasion in Cranford, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We’re frequently booked for:
- Anniversary celebrations
- Family celebrations after a christening
- Children’s parties
- Garden parties and summer get-togethers
Parks such as Hounslow Heath usually need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first.
Before booking anyone
- What they can offer for dietary needs
- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun
- The deposit and payment dates
- Any travel, parking or access charges
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- A photo of the parking spot helps
- Let your neighbours know
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Give us separate numbers for children
With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A spot near your guests
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
As a London location, Cranford 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 will advise before you book.

Party venues around Cranford
Cranford is about 2 miles north of Feltham, in Greater London. Cranford is well within our area, so your party just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. Cranford is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. Our bookings stretch from Cranford to London (about 14 miles away).
No room for the van at home? A club or hall car park near Cranford often works. Historic houses near Cranford include Osterley House (2.6 miles east) and Boston Manor (4 miles east). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules.

Cranford: your questions answered
What about parking in Cranford?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of the Good Shepherd: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Do you cover Cranford?
Yes, we do. Cranford is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so ask early.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. In Cranford, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you’re eating late.
- Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check access for the van and send a quote.
- We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
How to get a price
Each quote is put together for your party. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
