Party fish and chip van for your party in Cricklewood
There’s no need for a venue: the van makes your home the party venue. On the menu are haddock and chips, curry sauce and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater naming days and christenings and get-togethers with old friends.

How it works
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Autumn and winter parties in Cricklewood get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- First, tell us about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
