Party fish and chip van in Silverhill, fried fresh
You do not need to hire a hall: the van makes your home the party venue. We serve gravy, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for get-togethers with old friends and big birthdays.
For a party in Silverhill, home is often the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the lane, and we will bring everything else. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Access and parking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether a minimum applies
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Silverhill: your questions answered
How far is Silverhill from London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could you trade in Alexandra Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What do you need at the house?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Mention power and water and we will confirm the rest.
Is there a kids’ option?
Sausage and chips, usually. Tell us how many children to expect.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Tell the council about the van.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.

Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
