Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where you’d like the van to go

- The date and time of the event
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Party fish and chip van in Surrey Canal, cooked to order
Food is fried to order, so it is hot and crisp, not left out on a table for hours. Typical bookings include reunions and family get-togethers and engagement parties, serving curry sauce, gravy and pie and chips.
Most parties in Surrey Canal are at home, and in London that normally 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. A picture helps. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Surrey Canal questions
What about parking in Surrey Canal?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Could you trade in Deptford Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
What do children eat?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include them in your numbers.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
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.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Who books party fish and chip van in Surrey Canal?

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Planning a party in Surrey Canal
Surrey Canal is about 1 mile north-west of New Cross, in Greater London. We cover Surrey Canal as standard, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Surrey Canal is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover.
Nearby historic houses include Queen's House (2.1 miles east) and Mansion House (2.5 miles north-west). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules. Parks such as Deptford Park normally need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first.
For parties in SE16, SE15 and SE14, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. Streets in the area include Pump Lane, Bush Road and Water Lane, and the van can serve a party on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Being close to the A200 and A2208, Surrey Canal is simple for us to get to. Neighbouring places where we serve parties include South Bermondsey (1 mile west), Surrey Quays (1 mile north-east), Rotherhithe (1 mile north), Peckham (1 mile south-west) and Deptford (1 mile south-east). Larger places within reach include City of Westminster (5 miles north-west), Marylebone (5 miles north-west), Kensington (7 miles west), St Pancras (4 miles north-west), Shoreditch (3 miles north-west) and Walthamstow (7 miles north).
Nearby you will also find Surrey Quays Shopping Centre (0.7 miles north) and Nunhead (1.3 miles south). Within reach you’ll find New Cross Gate Cutting and Tower Hill.
- Local schools include City of London Academy (0.6 miles west) and Southwark Free School (0.6 miles south-west)
- Nearby, you will find The Surrey Docks pub (0.5 miles north)
The process
Changes on the day are fine: we’ll adjust start times and pace. Sunset in Surrey Canal is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After dark, light the area around the van.
- 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.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Let us know the serving time
