About our party fish and chip van in Rotherhithe
Everything is cooked as people come up, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. We’re often asked to cater birthday parties and christenings and naming days, with haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.
Planning a London party in Rotherhithe? A chip van keeps you out of the kitchen, and works on drives, in yards and at hired halls. Mention any parking restrictions. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

It is worth telling the neighbours.

What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In Rotherhithe, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Name one person we can call on the day

Food your guests will love
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.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.

Rotherhithe questions
Can you serve after a service at Holy Trinity Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can the van park in Russia Dock Woodland?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can the van come to Rotherhithe?
We do. Rotherhithe is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
