Party fish and chip van in Pollards Hill
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Party fish and chip van in Pollards Hill, fried fresh
Sausage and chips covers the children and anyone who does not want fish, so one van feeds the whole party. For garden get-togethers and engagement parties, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, curry sauce and gravy and more.
Most parties in Pollards Hill are at home, and in London that generally 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.

- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many people are eating
- How easy the site is to reach
- The length of service
- The date and time of year
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.

Questions from Pollards Hill
Can the van park in Grangewood Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Pollards Hill?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Can the van park on my drive?
Generally, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send us a picture and tell us about gates and branches.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before you book.

We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
