Party fish and chip van for your party in Tatsfield
We park on the drive or a firm spot near the party, with the serving hatch towards the garden. We serve cod and chips, curry sauce and gravy, and typical bookings are for leaving parties and family reunions.
Most parties in Tatsfield 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. Send us a photo. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Questions from Tatsfield
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. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you come to Tatsfield?
We do. We serve events in Tatsfield and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Can you park at our house?
Usually, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send a picture of the drive and the way in.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
Occasions we serve in Tatsfield
No washing up, no cold buffet to throw away.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:
- Retirement parties
- Naming days and christenings

If the day starts at Church of St Mary the Virgin, the van can be ready at the house when everyone arrives.
Before you book anyone
- The van’s size and access needs
- The service time, and the cost of running over
- Allergen information for each item
- Any minimum charge
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Tatsfield 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.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. A summer party in Tatsfield 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.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
Getting a price
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.

Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Send us a photo of the drive
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, then serve as guests come up.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
Parties in Tatsfield: homes, halls and local tips

We serve all 764 towns and villages across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is London, about 15 miles away.
Guests arriving by train should know that the closest railway station is Oxted station, roughly 3 miles south-west of the centre. Nearby historic houses include Titsey Place (1.4 miles south-west) and Down House (2.7 miles north). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler.

What else we do in Tatsfield
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.
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.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Tatsfield?
Next to a DIY barbecue, the host is not stuck cooking all afternoon. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
