About our party fish and chip van in North Cray
A chip van also works for street parties, with the right permissions in place. We serve curry sauce, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater big birthdays and family celebrations after a christening.
Throwing a party in North Cray? A chip van keeps you out of the kitchen, at home, at a hall or at a club. Mention any parking restrictions. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

- No surprises in your quote
- Hot food handed straight over
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The minimum booking
- The date and time of year
- How long we serve
- Numbers
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of the parking spot
- The spot you have in mind for the van
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, use our quote form.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. Sunset in North Cray is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in North Cray
What’s the nearest station to North Cray?
Albany Park station, about 0.6 miles north-west of the centre.
We’re gathering after a service at Parish Church of St James: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
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 my drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we will tell you honestly.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
