How our party fish and chip van works in Seething Wells
Birthdays, garden parties, anniversaries and christenings all suit a fish and chip van. It is food every generation enjoys. We’re often asked to cater reunions and family get-togethers and retirement celebrations, with curry sauce, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
Throwing a party in Seething Wells? A chip van keeps you out of the kitchen, at home, at a hall or at a club. Tell us about parking permits. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Other occasions in Seething Wells
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
As a London location, Seething Wells is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Working with your venue

Seething Wells questions
Which station is closest to Seething Wells?
Seething Wells has its own station: Surbiton station.
We are gathering after a service at St Andrew's Church: can you come?
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 you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Can you do something for the children?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include them in your numbers.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
