Party fish and chip van for Shooter's Hill events

Takeaway run or book a van?

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Party fish and chip van for your party in Shooter's Hill

Sausage and chips covers the children and anyone who does not want fish, so nobody needs a separate meal. Popular choices include sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we are often booked for street parties and family parties with children.

Throwing a party in Shooter's Hill? A van means no cooking for you, and works on drives, in yards and at hired halls. Tell us about parking permits. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Why choose party fish and chip van in Shooter's Hill?

It feels like a treat, and it gets people talking.

We can help if you are planning any of the following:

  • Get-togethers with old friends
  • Kids’ birthday parties
  • Garden get-togethers
  • Big birthdays

Parks such as Eaglesfield Park normally need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first.

Before you book anyone

  • The deposit and payment dates
  • A clear list of what’s included
  • Whether VAT is included
  • The service time, and the cost of running over

Our booking checklist

Diets, allergies and planning

A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:

  • Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
  • Give us separate numbers for children
  • A picture of the parking spot helps
  • Ask about dietary needs on the invitation

We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.

Your own cake makes the perfect finish.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Shooter's Hill?

A buffet is easy but forgettable. A chip van gives guests something to talk about. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

Why us?

  • No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
  • The queue at the hatch gets people talking
  • We cover Shooter's Hill and the whole of Greater London
  • Fried fresh, not kept warm

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Shooter's Hill

What’s the nearest station to Shooter's Hill?

The closest is Falconwood station, roughly 0.9 miles away.

Can you serve after a service at Christ Church?

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.

What do children eat?

Sausage and chips, normally. Let us know numbers and ages.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.

Is everything cooked fresh?

Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.

What do you need at the house?

A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Mention power and water and we will confirm the rest.

What do we need to supply?

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.

Does the batter contain gluten?

Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

Before you choose a spot

A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:

  • A route in without tight gates or low branches
  • Confirmation that the van can park there
  • A clear area by the serving hatch

As a London location, Shooter's Hill 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’ll say what we think.

The process

We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Sunset in Shooter's Hill is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.

  1. Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

Before we arrive

  • Plan where the queue will stand
  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
  • Name one person we can call on the day

Prices and what affects them

Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:

  • Travel, tolls and road charges
  • Parking and the way in
  • The menu and how many choices

Getting an accurate quote

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:

  • Where the event is
  • Rough numbers for adults and children
  • Your date and serving time
  • Allergies and diets you know about

Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
