Party fish and chip van in Highams Park, cooked to order
We park on the drive or a firm spot near the party, with the serving hatch towards the garden. We are often asked to cater summer garden parties and birthday parties, with cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
In Highams Park, a party at home is the usual choice, and parking is the question. A drive is ideal; otherwise, check what’s allowed on the street. A picture helps. Everything is fried fresh at your party, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Common questions in Highams Park
We’re gathering after a service at St John's: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can the van park in Lloyd Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Highams Park.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Highams Park?
Ordering in for a crowd means long waits. The van cooks right there. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
What happens on the day
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. For a late-May party in Highams Park, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. After dark, light the area around the van.
