Party fish and chip van for your party in Osidge
For children, there is sausage and chips, so nobody needs a separate meal. On the menu are haddock and chips, gravy and sausage and chips, and we’re frequently booked for get-togethers with old friends and birthday parties.
Most parties in Osidge are at home, and in London that normally means a drive or street parking. A drive is ideal; otherwise, check what’s allowed on the street. A picture helps. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A short walk from the party
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Osidge 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.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
