How our party fish and chip van works in Greenhill
A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. The van parks, the fryers go on and the food goes out hot. Whether it is get-togethers with old friends and engagement parties, we can cook haddock and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce and more.
Most parties in Greenhill are at home, and in London that usually means a drive or street parking. If you have a drive, the van can often go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. A photo helps. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The length of service
- The minimum booking
- The number of meals
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.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Your date and serving time
- Where you’d like the van to go
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
As a London location, Greenhill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Greenhill
What’s the nearest station to Greenhill?
Greenhill has its own station: Hampstead Heath station.
Can you serve after a service at Rosslyn Hill Unitarian Chapel?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What do children eat?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include them in your numbers.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you need power or water from us?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Greenhill?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your party and we’ll send a quote.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Send us a photo of the drive
- Confirm allergies by email
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Put bins and napkins near the hatch.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A venue plus caterer can be expensive. A van on the drive keeps it simple. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
