Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Forest Hill
Do you come out to small places like Forest Hill?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Forest Hill from London?
About 49 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cover Forest Hill?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Forest Hill is within our area. For a quote, use our quote form.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Is there a kids’ option?
Sausage and chips, normally. Let us know numbers and ages.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Step by step
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your party in Forest Hill. A summer party in Forest Hill stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Name one person we can call on the day

If you had Shotover Country Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans can’t simply park up and serve in a public park. Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Church of St Nicholas, with fish and chips at home or in a hall afterwards.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The menu and how many choices
- The length of service
- The day of the week
- Numbers
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

- Your date and serving time

- Expected numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van gives people a choice. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Why book with us
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Hot food handed straight over
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- No surprises in your quote
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Send allergies to us in writing
With children, food about an hour in works well.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
