- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- The site’s agreement to a catering van

How our party fish and chip van works in Shepherd's Bush
A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. We are often asked to cater anniversary celebrations and naming days and christenings, with cod and chips, gravy and haddock and chips.
Throwing a party in Shepherd's Bush? A chip van keeps you out of the kitchen, at home, at a hall or at a club. Tell us about parking permits. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
