About our party fish and chip van in Summerstown
Birthdays, garden parties, anniversaries and christenings all suit a fish and chip van. Everyone from toddlers to grandparents knows what they’re getting. Typical bookings include neighbourhood get-togethers and big birthdays, with cod and chips, gravy and sausage and chips.
Most parties in Summerstown are at home, and in London that usually means a drive or street parking. If you have a drive, the van can often go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. Send us a picture. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Questions from Summerstown
Can you serve after a service at St Mary's Church?
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.
Could you trade in King George's Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we will say what we need.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your party and we will send a quote.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Why book with us
- Hot food handed straight over
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
