Fresh fish and chips in Fitzrovia
Party fish and chip van in Fitzrovia, cooked to order
It is a treat that feels special without being formal: fish and chips from the van, eaten in the garden. We are frequently asked to cater garden parties and summer get-togethers and street parties, with curry sauce, pie and chips and cod and chips.
In Fitzrovia, a party at home is the usual choice, and parking is the question. A drive is ideal; otherwise, check what’s allowed on the street. Send us a photo. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van gives people a choice. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Fitzrovia
Is parking a problem for the van in Fitzrovia?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Could you trade in St Anne's Churchyard?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What do children eat?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Tell us how many children to expect.
Can the van come to Fitzrovia?
Yes, we do. Fitzrovia is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
