About our party fish and chip van in Peaks Hill
A chip van also works for street parties, with the right permissions in place. We’re often asked to cater anniversary celebrations and street parties, serving mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
Most parties in Peaks Hill are at home, and in London that typically means a drive or street parking. A drive is ideal; otherwise, check what’s allowed on the street. A photo helps. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The menu and how many choices
- Distance and any road charges
- Access and parking
- Whether a minimum applies
Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- Where the van would park
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your party, and we’ll quote on that. To start, fill in our quote form.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A spot near your guests
- Access wide and high enough for the van
As a London location, Peaks Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Peaks Hill
Which station is closest to Peaks Hill?
The closest is Purley station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Is parking a problem for the van in Peaks Hill?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Do you need power or water from us?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How early do summer dates go?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
