Party fish and chip van in Kew, fried fresh
A chip van also works for street parties, once the council has agreed the road closure. Popular choices include sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for engagement parties and christenings and naming days.
Planning a London party in Kew? A van means no cooking for you, and works on drives, in yards and at hired halls. Mention any parking restrictions. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with cooking a barbecue yourself, a chip van means nobody is stuck at the grill. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your party is.
Why Kew hosts choose us
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- A clear quote before you book
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking

FAQs for Kew
What’s the nearest station to Kew?
The closest is Chiswick station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Is parking a problem for the van in Kew?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How early do summer dates go?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Do we need to provide anything?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Tell us what’s available and we will take it from there.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Put allergy details in writing
- Count children separately
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
