Party fish and chip van in Little Venice, cooked to order

A chip van works for birthdays, garden parties and family celebrations. Everyone from toddlers to grandparents knows what they’re getting. We’re frequently asked to cater anniversary celebrations and summer garden parties, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and gravy.

Planning a London party in Little Venice? A chip van keeps you out of the kitchen, at home, at a hall or at a club. Tell us about parking permits. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.

How it works

Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. Sunset in Little Venice is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.

  1. You share your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check the route in and send a price.
  3. We arrive in good time to set up.
  4. Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the van can get in
  • Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
  • Share the timings for the day

Food your guests will love

Curry sauce

Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.

Cod and chips

Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.

Takeaway run or book a 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 cooks in front of your guests instead.

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.

Space, access and the venue

A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:

  • A spot near your guests
  • Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
  • A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates

Little Venice is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

  • Pie and chips
  • Cod and chips

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Next to a DIY barbecue, the host isn’t stuck cooking all afternoon. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.

Why Little Venice hosts choose us

  • Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
  • The queue at the hatch gets people talking
  • We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
  • No surprises in your quote
