Party fish and chip van in Silvertown

About our party fish and chip van in Silvertown

It is a treat that feels special without being formal: paper portions of fish and chips in the garden. Typical bookings include leaving parties and reunions and family get-togethers, with sausage and chips, gravy and cod and chips.

Most parties in Silvertown are at home, and in London that normally means a drive or street parking. A drive is ideal; otherwise, check what’s allowed on the street. A photo helps. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

What comes out of the fryer

Sausage and chips

Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.

Haddock and chips

Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:

  • The length of service
  • Your choice of menu
  • The date and time of year

  • Where you’d like the van to go
  • A photo of the parking spot

Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability straight away.

The process

We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests usually gather round the hatch as soon as we open. For a late-May party in Silvertown, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. After dark, light the area around the van.

  1. You share your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
  5. We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.

Preparing for the day

  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Takeaway run or book a van?

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

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Before you choose a spot

We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

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

Silvertown is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
