Book the van in Roundshaw
The process
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. A summer party in Roundshaw stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
How to prepare
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Party fish and chip van in Roundshaw, cooked to order
It feels like a treat, but stays relaxed: fish and chips from the van, eaten in the garden. We serve gravy, sausage and chips and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for engagement parties and big birthdays.
Most parties in Roundshaw are at home, and in London that normally means a drive or street parking. A drive is ideal; otherwise, check what’s allowed on the street. A picture helps. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Roundshaw: your questions answered
Can the van park in Waddon Ponds?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to Roundshaw?
The closest is Wallington station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Can you park at our house?
That depends on the space and the route in. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll tell you honestly.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
How far ahead should we book a party?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A buffet is easy but forgettable. The van becomes part of the party. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Send us a picture of the drive
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
After service, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.
Finish with the birthday cake.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
