Party fish and chip van for your party in London Docklands
For children, there’s sausage and chips, so one van feeds the whole party. We’re often asked to cater christenings and naming days and street parties and neighbourhood events, with gravy, curry sauce and pie and chips.
In London Docklands, 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. A picture helps. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

London Docklands parties: what to know
London Docklands is about 2 miles north-west of Greenwich, in Greater London. Whether your party is in the middle of London Docklands or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. We serve 764 places in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as St Peter's Church, with fish and chips at home or in a hall afterwards. If your drive is too small, local halls and clubs near London Docklands can be an alternative, as long as the van can park outside.
For parties in E14, SE16 and E22, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
How it works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your party. Sunset in London Docklands is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After dark, light the area around the van.

Organising for someone else?
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Could you trade in Sir John McDougall Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
