Party fish and chip van for your party in Sewardstonebury

There’s no need for a venue: the van makes your home the party venue. We are frequently asked to cater garden get-togethers and big birthdays, with mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips.

Most parties in Sewardstonebury are at home, and in London that usually means a drive or street parking. If you have a drive, the van can often go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. A photo helps. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Planning for dietary needs

Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:

  • Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
  • Confirm allergies by email
  • Arrange an alternative if needed
  • Ensure the van can park legally

After service, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.

Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.

Working with your venue

Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

What affects the price in Sewardstonebury

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:

  • Cod, haddock or both
  • The date and time of year
  • How many people are eating
  • The minimum booking

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.

What to tell us

The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Please include:

  • Dietary needs, with numbers
  • The address or venue name
  • Anything awkward about the way in
  • A picture of where the van would go

Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.

Space, access and the venue

Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

  • A lit spot if service runs after dark
  • A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
  • The site’s agreement to a catering van

As a London location, Sewardstonebury is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Popular choices

  • Mushy peas
  • Pie and chips

Takeaway run or book a van?

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.

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.

How the day works

Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Sunset in Sewardstonebury drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 3:50pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. The pitch is left tidy when we go.

How to prepare

  • Give us your final numbers and allergies
  • Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Getting a price

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. To get started, use our quote form.
