Working with your venue
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.

About our party fish and chip van in Lessness Heath
A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. The van parks, the fryers go on and the food goes out hot. Whether it’s anniversaries and engagement parties and retirement parties, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
In Lessness Heath, 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 photo. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How far we travel
- The date and time of year
- The minimum booking
- The number of meals
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
What we need to know
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of where the van would go
- The address or venue name
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Put allergy details in writing
- Check the street’s parking rules
- A picture of the parking spot helps

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Lessness Heath
We are gathering after a service at Parish Church of All Saints: 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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can the van park in Lesnes Abbey Woods?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your party and we’ll send a quote.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
Lessness Heath is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
