Party fish and chip van for Somers Town events
How our party fish and chip van works in Somers Town
We park on the drive or a firm spot near the party, with the serving hatch towards the garden. Whether it’s kids’ birthday parties and big birthdays, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, gravy and sausage and chips for your guests.
Most parties in Somers Town are at home, and in London that typically means a drive or street parking. If you have a drive, the van can frequently go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. Send us a photo. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Where the van can park in Somers Town
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Somers Town is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Have a back-up for special diets
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.
A few lights around the van look great.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
What happens on the day
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Midsummer parties in Somers Town stay bright until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Somers Town: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at St Mary's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can the van park in Lewis Cubitt Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you need power or water from us?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Is there a kids’ option?
Sausage and chips, normally. Tell us how many children to expect.
Can you park at our house?
It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll advise.
