Party fish and chip van in London, cooked to order
Birthdays, garden parties, anniversaries and christenings all suit a fish and chip van. It’s food every generation enjoys. We serve haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we are often booked for naming days and christenings and family parties with children.
There are plenty of party venues in London, but home is often the best venue. Let us know about parking and access. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

- A short walk from the party
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Space for people to queue at the hatch

FAQs for London
Can the van park in Newington Gardens?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve after a service at St George the Martyr?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you cover London?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and London is within our area. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
What do you need at the house?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we will say what we need.

The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. Sunset in London drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.

- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
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.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
