Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

About our party fish and chip van in Regents Park

It feels like a treat, but stays relaxed: paper portions of fish and chips in the garden. Typical bookings include children’s parties and family reunions, with mushy peas, curry sauce and haddock and chips.

Around Regents Park, a garden and a drive is all you need. A chip van fits right in. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:

The day of the week
Whether a minimum applies
How easy the site is to reach
How far we travel

There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

What to tell us

To speed things up, tell us:

The venue or postcode
Any dietary needs and allergies
Rough numbers for adults and children
The date and time of the event

Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your party, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, use our quote form.

A closer look at the menu

Pie and chips

For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.

Cod and chips

Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.

Common questions in Regents Park

What about events near the coast?

Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.

Can the van park in St James' Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.

What do children eat?

Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include them in your numbers.

Can you park on the road outside?

That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

Do you need power or water?

Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.

When should we book?

The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.

What do you bring?

All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.

How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Regents Park?

The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your party and we will send a quote.

How the day works

The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. In Regents Park, a June party has light until about 9:25pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.
