Planning a party in Herne Hill
Herne Hill is about 3 miles south of London, in Greater London. People in Herne Hill book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. We cover all 764 towns and villages across Greater London.

We can serve a party on streets such as Jelf Road, Dewey Lane and Talma Road, wherever the van can park. Herne Hill sits on or near the A204 and A2214, so getting the van to your party is simple. If your venue is just outside Herne Hill, we also cover Dulwich Village (1 mile south-east), East Dulwich (1 mile north-east), Dulwich (1 mile south-east), Denmark Hill (1 mile north) and Camberwell (1 mile north). We also serve nearby towns such as London (3 miles north), City of Westminster (5 miles north-west), Marylebone (5 miles north-west), Kensington (6 miles north-west), St Pancras (5 miles north) and Shoreditch (5 miles north).

Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
For a party that feels special but relaxed, a fish and chip van is a great choice. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The menu and how many choices
- How easy the site is to reach
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The minimum booking
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Your date and serving time
- The venue or postcode
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Send us a photo of the drive
- Arrange an alternative if needed

When everyone has eaten, we pack up.

How the day works
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. A summer party in Herne Hill stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Have a level parking spot ready
Getting a price
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
