Party fish and chip van in Single Street, fried fresh
We park on the drive or a firm spot near the party, with the hatch facing your guests. Whether it’s retirement parties and birthday parties, we can cook curry sauce, pie and chips and gravy.
Most parties in Single Street 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 picture helps. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
As a London location, Single Street is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party

Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the van would park
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. At midsummer, it is light in Single Street until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Tell us when you want to eat

About the food
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
Put bins and napkins near the hatch.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
