Party fish and chip van in Gallows Corner, fried fresh
It feels like a treat, but stays relaxed: fish and chips from the van, eaten in the garden. Popular choices include cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we are often booked for leaving parties and street parties.
Most parties in Gallows Corner are at home, and in London that generally means a drive or street parking. A drive is ideal; otherwise, check what’s allowed on the street. A picture helps. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

Questions from Gallows Corner
Can the van park in Raphael Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve after a service at St Michael and All Angels Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, where the council allows it. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Can the van park on grass?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.

How the day works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Sunset in Gallows Corner drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 3:50pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day

Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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 nobody has to miss the party.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A buffet is easy but forgettable. The van becomes part of the party. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your party is.

Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A short walk from the party
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
As a London location, Gallows Corner is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
