About our party fish and chip van in Hampton Wick
It is a treat that feels special without being formal: paper portions of fish and chips in the garden. We’re often asked to cater christenings and naming days and children’s parties, serving pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
In Hampton Wick, a party at home is the usual choice, and parking is the question. If you have a drive, the van can often go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. Send us a picture. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.

Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A short walk from the party
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
As a London location, Hampton Wick is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
From the hatch
- Chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Check the street’s parking rules
Plan where the queue stands if the van is on the drive.
Plan cover in case of showers.
Step by step
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your party. A summer party in Hampton Wick stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- 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.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Make sure the van can get in

Questions from Hampton Wick
We’re gathering after a service at All Saints Church: can you come?
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.
What about parking in Hampton Wick?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. The van cooks right there. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
