Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Count children separately
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Ensure the van can park legally
We park on the agreed spot and set up, then serve as guests come up.
A few lights around the van look great.
How our party fish and chip van works in Mitcham
There’s no need for a venue: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. We serve haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for kids’ birthday parties and street parties.
In Mitcham, a party at home is the usual choice, and parking is the question. If you have a drive, the van can frequently go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. A photo helps. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Perfect for your party in Mitcham
Fresh food beats a tired buffet, especially as the evening cools.

We serve 764 places in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Mitcham to London (about 7 miles away).

Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Lighting nearby for evening events
Mitcham 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.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Common questions in Mitcham
Is parking a problem for the van in Mitcham?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
What’s the nearest station to Mitcham?
The closest is Mitcham Eastfields station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Mitcham?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your party and we will send a quote.
Can the van come to our street party?
Frequently, yes. Start the road closure application early.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
What do children eat?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include them in your numbers.
