Party fish and chip van in Hither Green, fried fresh
The queue at the hatch gets people mixing. For naming days and christenings and leaving parties, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Most parties in Hither Green are at home, and in London that typically means a drive or street parking. A drive is ideal; otherwise, check what’s allowed on the street. A photo helps. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

FAQs for Hither Green
What about parking in Hither Green?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Swithun: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How early do summer dates go?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Get in touch with your date.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Hither Green?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Can the van come to Hither Green?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Hither Green and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, use our quote form.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
