Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Lee
Can you serve after a service at Church of the Good Shepherd?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What about parking in Lee?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Lee?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your party and we’ll send a quote.
What do children eat?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Let us know numbers and ages.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Tell the council about the van.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
How our party fish and chip van works in Lee
A chip van also works for street parties, once the council has agreed the road closure. Typical bookings include birthday parties and street parties, serving curry sauce, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
Planning a London party in Lee? A chip van keeps you out of the kitchen, at home, at a hall or at a club. Mention any parking restrictions. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

About the food
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A spot near your guests
As a London location, Lee is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Within reach of Lee are historic houses such as Eltham Palace (1.7 miles east) and Queen's House (2.1 miles north). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules. Guests arriving by train should know that Lee station is in Lee itself.
Wherever your party is in SE12, SE13 and SE3, we can fry fresh for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Old Road, Manor Lane and Mallet Road, and the van can serve a party on any of them with a suitable parking spot.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Lee?
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. At midsummer, it is light in Lee until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- You get an access check and a clear price.
- We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
- We serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.
- We pack up when we are done and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
