Planning a party in East Dulwich
East Dulwich is about 3 miles south of London, in Greater London. Across the SE5 area, we will come to your venue, home or workplace. East Dulwich is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we bring the van.
Nearby historic houses include Kingswood House (2.2 miles south) and Mansion House (3.5 miles north). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler. If your drive is too small, local halls and clubs near East Dulwich can be an alternative, as long as the van can park outside.
We take the van to parties all over the SE5, SE22 and SE15 postcode area. That could mean a party at a home on Rye Lane, Wren Road and Adys Road, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. With the A2214 and A2215 close by, East Dulwich is simple for us to get to with the van. For parties just outside East Dulwich, we cover Denmark Hill (1 mile north-west), Herne Hill (1 mile south-west), Dulwich Village (1 mile south), Camberwell (1 mile north) and Peckham (1 mile north-east). 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 (4 miles north).
Other landmarks nearby include Dulwich Community Hospital (less than half a mile south-east) and Nunhead (1.4 miles east). The countryside around East Dulwich includes Knight's Hill and Centre for Wildlife Gardening.
- Local schools include The Charter School East Dulwich (within half a mile south-east) and The Charter School (within half a mile south-west)

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in East Dulwich
Can the van park in Brunswick Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is parking a problem for the van in East Dulwich?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.

- How easy the site is to reach
- Travel, tolls and road charges

What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the event is
- Where the van would park
Still finalising the details? That is fine: tell us the basics about your party, and we’ll quote on that. Start when you’re ready: use our quote form.
