Party fish and chip van for your party in Ladywell
Sausage and chips covers the children and anyone who doesn’t want fish, so one van feeds the whole party. We are frequently asked to cater family parties with children and family celebrations after a christening, serving mushy peas, haddock and chips and gravy.
In Ladywell, a party at home is the usual choice, and parking is the question. If you have a drive, the van can often go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. Send us a picture. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu.

How it works
You do not need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your party. The frying and serving are down to us. For a late-May party in Ladywell, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. After dark, light the area around the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know the serving time

Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the parking spot
Send us the date, the address or SE13 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. To get started, use our quote form.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Questions from Ladywell
Could you trade in Ladywell Fields?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What about parking in Ladywell?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can the van park on my drive?
Frequently, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send a picture of the drive and the way in.
