Party fish and chip van in Paddington Green, cooked to order
The queue at the hatch gets people mixing, which is what a party is all about. We serve pie and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater anniversaries and engagement parties and garden get-togethers.
In Paddington Green, 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. Send us a picture. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
