Party fish and chip van for Kingston Vale events
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.

Planning help
Kingston Vale: your questions answered
What about parking in Kingston Vale?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
We are gathering after a service at St John the Baptist: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so ask early.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Make sure the van can park legally
- Have a back-up for special diets
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, then serve as guests come up.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
