About our party fish and chip van in Crooked Billet
We park on the drive or a firm spot near the party, with the hatch facing your guests. Whether it’s street parties and reunions and family get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, gravy and mushy peas for your guests.
In Crooked Billet, 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. Send us a picture. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Crooked Billet questions
Can you serve after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can the van park in Cannizaro Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A spot near your guests
As a London location, Crooked Billet 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.

A chip van compared with other options
Ordering in for a crowd means long waits. A van fries on the spot. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
