About our party fish and chip van in Round Street
A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. We’re frequently asked to cater summer garden parties and street parties, serving pie and chips, sausage and chips and gravy.
In a small place like Round Street, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- A picture of the parking spot helps
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Put bins and napkins near the hatch.
A few lights around the van look great.

A closer look at the menu
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Numbers
- How far we travel

What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Expected numbers
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The spot you have in mind for the van

FAQs for Round Street
Can the van park in Jeskyns?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Round Street from London?
About 22 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Space, access and the venue

- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

How it works
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. In Round Street, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:00pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.
