How we price a fish and chip van for your party

The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

  • Numbers
  • Cod, haddock or both
  • Access and parking
  • Travel, tolls and road charges

Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.

Getting an accurate quote

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:

  • The address or venue name
  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • A picture of the space and the way in
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.

How our party fish and chip van works in Homerton

You don’t need to hire a hall: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. For engagement parties and retirement parties, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas for your guests.

Most parties in Homerton are at home, and in London that typically means a drive or street parking. 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, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Homerton

Which station is closest to Homerton?

Homerton station, in Homerton itself.

Is parking a problem for the van in Homerton?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.

Who clears up?

We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.

Can the van park on the street?

It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

When should we book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.

What do children eat?

Most children go for sausage and chips. Let us know numbers and ages.

What food do you serve?

Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Planning the van’s spot

The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:

  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
  • Lighting nearby for evening events
  • The site’s agreement to a catering van

Homerton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
