Party fish and chip van in St George's Fields, fried fresh
With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. We’re often asked to cater big birthdays and family celebrations after a christening, with cod and chips, mushy peas and gravy.

Gravy

Hosting a chip van party in St George's Fields
St George's Fields is about 1 mile west of London, in Greater London. For a party in St George's Fields, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields. We take the van to all 764 towns and villages across Greater London.
Within reach of St George's Fields are historic houses such as Benjamin Franklin House (1.1 miles north-west) and Dr Johnson's House (1.1 miles north). If you’re hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on catering vans first.

We can serve a party on streets such as York Road, Spur Road and Bear Lane or the roads around them, wherever the van can park.

Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in St George's Fields? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Show us where the van would go
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
After service, we pack up.
A few lights around the van look great.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Common questions in St George's Fields
What’s the nearest station to St George's Fields?
St George's Fields has its own station: Elephant & Castle station.
Could you trade in Geraldine Mary Harmsworth Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you do something for the children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance and any road charges
- Parking and the way in
- Whether a minimum applies
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Expected numbers
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

The process
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we will adjust start times and pace. A summer party in St George's Fields stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
Ask for a quote
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: tell us the basics about your party, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.
