What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
Russell Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

About our party fish and chip van in Russell Hill
Guests who do not know each other end up chatting in the queue, which is what a party is all about. Whether it is engagement parties and garden parties and summer get-togethers, we can cook curry sauce, mushy peas and cod and chips.
In Russell Hill, a party at home is the usual choice, and parking is the question. If you have a drive, the van can often go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. Send us a picture. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

How it works
The first sign we’ve arrived is usually the smell. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. For a late-May party in Russell Hill, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. After dark, light the area around the van.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- A picture of the parking spot helps
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Make sure the van can park legally
- Have a back-up for special diets
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, then serve as guests come up.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
