About our party fish and chip van in Nunhead
For children, there is sausage and chips, so nobody needs a separate meal. On the menu are mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for milestone birthdays and retirement celebrations.
In Nunhead, 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. A photo helps. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

What else we do in Nunhead
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
Organising for someone else?
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Nunhead 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.

The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests normally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. A summer party in Nunhead stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready

Nunhead: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Saint Antony with Saint Silas: 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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can the van park in Peckham Rye?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is there a kids’ option?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include them in your numbers.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Nunhead.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
