The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. At midsummer, it’s light in East Wickham until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Parties in East Wickham: homes, halls and local tips
East Wickham is about 1 mile north-west of Welling, in Greater London. We serve parties at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in East Wickham and nearby villages. We cover all 764 towns and villages across Greater London. Our bookings stretch from East Wickham to London (about 8 miles away).
A christening at St Mary the Virgin followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan. A green space like Shoulder of Mutton Green is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s.
Parties anywhere in DA16, SE18 and SE2 start with a parking spot for the van and a serving time. Local streets include Keats Road, Darwin Road and Edison Road; a party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Nearby, we also serve parties in Falconwood (1 mile south), Shooter's Hill (1 mile west), Blackfen (1 mile south), Plumstead (1 mile north-west) and Avery Hill (1 mile south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover London (8 miles west), City of Westminster (11 miles west), Marylebone (11 miles west), Kensington (13 miles west), St Pancras (10 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (8 miles north-west).

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Confirm allergies by email
- Give us separate numbers for children
We park on the agreed spot and set up, then serve as guests come up.
Finish with the birthday cake.
