Party fish and chip van in Hyde farm estate, cooked to order
We park on the drive or a firm spot near the party, with the serving hatch towards the garden. Typical bookings include family reunions and birthday parties, serving gravy, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
Most parties in Hyde farm estate are at home, and in London that generally means a drive or street parking. A drive is ideal; otherwise, check what’s allowed on the street. Send us a picture. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Questions from Hyde farm estate
What’s the nearest station to Hyde farm estate?
Balham station, about 0.5 miles west of the centre.
Is parking a problem for the van in Hyde farm estate?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What do you need at the house?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
What happens if it rains?
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.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Numbers
- Whether a minimum applies
- The date and time of year
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your party is.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Anything awkward about the way in
Still finalising the details? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. Start when you’re ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

Planning help
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
