Party fish and chip van in Nine Elms
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
About our party fish and chip van in Nine Elms
The queue at the hatch gets people mixing, which is what a party is all about. Whether it is street parties and neighbourhood events and kids’ birthday parties, we’ll put together a menu of gravy, sausage and chips and curry sauce for your guests.
In Nine Elms, 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 picture helps.

Questions from Nine Elms
Is parking a problem for the van in Nine Elms?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Which station is closest to Nine Elms?
Battersea Park station, in Nine Elms itself.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Is there a kids’ option?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.

Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
