Common questions in Grove Park
Can you serve after a service at St Paul's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Could you trade in Dukes Meadows?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your party and we’ll send a quote.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Where the van can park in Grove Park
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Lighting nearby for evening events
As a London location, Grove Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Guests arriving by train should know that there’s a station right in Grove Park: Chiswick station. Local halls and clubs near Grove Park are an option if there’s nowhere to park at home.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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.
What happens on the day
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace. Midsummer parties in Grove Park stay bright until about 9:20pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Who books party fish and chip van in Grove Park?
Everyone from toddlers to grandparents enjoys it, which makes it perfect for family celebrations.
Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We are often booked for:
- Anniversaries and engagement parties
- Get-togethers with old friends
- Retirement parties
- Children’s parties
A green space like Dukes Meadows is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A buffet is easy but forgettable. The van becomes part of the party. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your party is.
