Party fish and chip van in Soho, cooked to order
It feels like a treat, but stays relaxed: paper portions of fish and chips in the garden. On the menu are gravy, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater big birthdays and kids’ birthday parties.
In Soho, a party at home is the usual choice, and parking is the question. If you have a drive, the van can often go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. Send us a picture. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party
These are the factors that matter most:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The menu and how many choices
- The date and time of year
- How easy the site is to reach
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go
Each quote is put together for your party. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Make sure the van can park legally
- Send us a picture of the drive
- Arrange an alternative if needed
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, then serve as guests come up.
Put the menu up by the van.
Food your guests will love
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
Soho is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

FAQs for Soho
Which station is closest to Soho?
Soho has its own station: Tottenham Court Road station.
We are gathering after a service at St Anne's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you do something for the children?
Sausage and chips, usually. Let us know numbers and ages.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
