Party fish and chip van in Dulwich Village
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips

In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Party fish and chip van in Dulwich Village, fried fresh
Guests who do not know each other end up chatting in the queue, which is what a party is all about. Popular choices include mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater family parties with children and retirement parties.
Most parties in Dulwich Village are at home, and in London that normally means a drive or street parking. If you have a drive, the van can often go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. A photo helps. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Dulwich Village
Is parking a problem for the van in Dulwich Village?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Can the van park in Dulwich Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.

Dulwich Village parties: what to know
Dulwich Village is about 1 mile south-east of Herne Hill, in Greater London. People in Dulwich Village book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Dulwich Village is one of 764 places in Greater London where we bring the van.
Within reach of Dulwich Village are historic houses such as Kingswood House (1.3 miles south) and Queen's House (4 miles north-east). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules. If your drive is too small, local halls and clubs near Dulwich Village can be an alternative, as long as the van can park outside.
Anywhere in SE22, SE21 and SE24, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From Court Lane, Druce Road and Turney Road or a nearby road, we will bring the van to you. Main roads around Dulwich Village include the A2216, so getting the van to your party is simple. Other places close to Dulwich Village we cover include Dulwich (1 mile south-east), Herne Hill (1 mile north-west), East Dulwich (1 mile north), West Dulwich (1 mile south) and Denmark Hill (1 mile north). Further out, we also take the van to London (3 miles north), City of Westminster (5 miles north-west), Marylebone (5 miles north-west), Kensington (6 miles north-west), St Pancras (5 miles north) and Shoreditch (5 miles north).

How we price a fish and chip van for your party
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- The number of meals
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Your choice of menu
- The length of service
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Where the van would park
- The address or venue name
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Roughly how many people, including children
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Confirm allergies by email
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Check the street’s parking rules
After service, we pack up.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
