A chip van near Peckham
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Party fish and chip van for your party in Peckham
Everything is cooked as people come up, not left out on a table for hours. Popular choices include cod and chips, curry sauce and gravy, and we’re regularly asked to cater birthday parties and engagement parties.
Throwing a party in Peckham? A van means no cooking for you, at home, at a hall or at a club. Mention any parking restrictions. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Planning a party in Peckham
Peckham is about 2 miles south-east of London, in Greater London. For a party in Peckham, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass. We cover 764 places across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
A christening at All Saints Church followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan. For party guests on the train, Peckham has its own station, Queens Road Peckham station.
For parties in SE15, SE14 and SE5, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. Local streets include Rye Lane, Relf Road and Mona Road; a party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Being close to the A2215, Peckham is easy for us to reach for your party. Close by, we cover parties in Nunhead (1 mile south-east), Telegraph Hill (1 mile south-east), South Bermondsey (1 mile north), Surrey Canal (1 mile north-east) and East Dulwich (1 mile south-west). We also serve nearby towns such as City of Westminster (5 miles north-west), Marylebone (5 miles north-west), Kensington (6 miles west), St Pancras (4 miles north-west), Shoreditch (4 miles north) and Walthamstow (8 miles north).
Well-known places in the area include Southwark Adult Education Institute (less than half a mile east) and Surrey Quays Shopping Centre (1.8 miles north). The countryside around Peckham includes St. James's Park Lake and Knight's Hill.
- Local schools include The St Thomas the Apostle College (under half a mile east) and Southwark Free School (0.7 miles north)
- Local pubs include The Kentish Drovers pub (within half a mile north-west)
- Parks and local facilities nearby include Nunhead (within half a mile south-east)
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Step by step
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. A summer party in Peckham stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
