Party fish and chip van for your party in South Street
It feels like a treat, but stays relaxed: paper portions of fish and chips in the garden. For naming days and christenings and retirement celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, haddock and chips and gravy and more.
Throwing a party in South Street? A chip van keeps you out of the kitchen, at home, at a hall or at a club. Mention any parking restrictions. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
For a party that feels special but relaxed, a fish and chip van is a great choice in South Street. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

- A clear quote before you book
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Served hot, straight from the hatch

South Street: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What about parking in South Street?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in South Street?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Lighting nearby for evening events
South Street 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.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Let your neighbours know
Put bins and napkins near the hatch.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.
How the day works
The first sign we’ve arrived is typically the smell. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. For a late-May party in South Street, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. After dark, light the area around the van.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
How to get a price
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, use our quote form.

Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
