About our party fish and chip van in Mill Meads
For children, there is sausage and chips, so nobody needs a separate meal. Typical bookings include children’s parties and christenings and naming days, with cod and chips, gravy and pie and chips.
Planning a London party in Mill Meads? A chip van keeps you out of the kitchen, at home, at a hall or at a club. Mention any parking restrictions. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

For planners, venues and organisers
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Mill Meads? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
How the day works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. Midsummer parties in Mill Meads stay bright until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Mill Meads
Is parking a problem for the van in Mill Meads?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Can you serve after a service at St Mary's Church?
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.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
Can the van park on grass?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Mill Meads is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
