How our party fish and chip van works in Romford
Birthdays, garden parties, anniversaries and christenings all suit a fish and chip van. Everyone from toddlers to grandparents knows what they’re getting. On the menu are pie and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we are frequently booked for family parties with children and get-togethers with old friends.
In Romford, a party at home is the usual choice, and parking is the question. If you have a drive, the van can frequently go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. Send us a photo. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Party venues around Romford
Romford is in Greater London. In and around Romford, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field. We serve all 764 towns and villages across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Romford to London (13 miles away).
A green space like Lodge Farm Park is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s. If guests are coming by rail, Romford station serves Romford directly.

What else we do in Romford
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
As a London location, Romford is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
How the day works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. In Romford, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Share the timings for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Romford: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for the van in Romford?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Could you trade in Lodge Farm Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you come to a street party?
Often, yes. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
Is there a kids’ option?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Let us know numbers and ages.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you need power or water from us?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Mention power and water and we will confirm the rest.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
