Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Party fish and chip van in Rowley Green, fried fresh
It’s a treat that feels special without being formal: fish and chips from the van, eaten in the garden. We serve mushy peas, sausage and chips and curry sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater anniversary celebrations and street parties.

Parties in Rowley Green: homes, halls and local tips
Rowley Green is in Greater London. Rowley Green is well within our area, so your party just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. Rowley Green is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. Our bookings stretch from Rowley Green to London (about 13 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Wyllyotts Manor (3.7 miles north-east). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. The van cooks right there. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.

How it works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Midsummer parties in Rowley Green stay bright until about 9:20pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check where the van can park and send a price.
- On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
- We serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.
- Afterwards, we clear up and leave you to it.
Preparing for the day

What affects the price in Rowley Green
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Numbers
- Whether a minimum applies
- The menu and how many choices
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

- The date and when you’d like to eat

What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Diets, allergies and planning
