Party fish and chip van in Old Chiswick
About our party fish and chip van in Old Chiswick
We park on the drive or a firm spot near the party, with the hatch facing your guests. We are often asked to cater garden parties and summer get-togethers and leaving parties, with mushy peas, haddock and chips and gravy.
Most parties in Old Chiswick are at home, and in London that normally means a drive or street parking. If you have a drive, the van can often go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. A picture helps. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Having the party at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
The process
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Autumn and winter parties in Old Chiswick get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Have a level parking spot ready

Why choose party fish and chip van in Old Chiswick?
You don’t need a venue: a drive or firm lawn is enough.
Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We regularly serve:
- Anniversary celebrations
- Retirement parties
- Street parties and neighbourhood events
- Kids’ birthday parties
Within reach of Old Chiswick are historic houses such as Hogarth's House (within half a mile west) and Chiswick House (less than half a mile south-west). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler.

Questions from Old Chiswick
What about parking in Old Chiswick?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Which station is closest to Old Chiswick?
Chiswick station, about 0.8 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Count children separately
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Put bins and napkins near the hatch.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
