A fish and chip van or other catering?
For a relaxed celebration, a fish and chip van is a great choice. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.
What you get with us
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Classic food your guests already know
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
How our party fish and chip van works in Middle Park
You do not need to hire a hall: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. Popular choices include pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater big birthdays and anniversary celebrations.
In Middle Park, a party at home is the usual choice, and parking is the question. A drive is ideal; otherwise, check what’s allowed on the street. Send us a photo. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
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.

Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Middle Park
What’s the nearest station to Middle Park?
Mottingham station, about 0.5 miles south-east of the centre.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Saviour: 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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Do you cover Middle Park?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Middle Park and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
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 be honest about what’s possible.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
