Parker's Green questions
Do you come out to small places like Parker's Green?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Parker's Green from London?
About 26 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you need power or water from us?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Party fish and chip van for your party in Parker's Green
It feels like a treat, but stays relaxed: paper portions of fish and chips in the garden. Whether it’s children’s parties and family reunions, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, haddock and chips and gravy and more.
Country parties near Parker's Green suit a chip van: fried fresh and eaten outside. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Count children separately
- Confirm allergies by email
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
