Party fish and chip van for Telegraph Hill events
How our party fish and chip van works in Telegraph Hill
Birthdays, garden parties, anniversaries and christenings all suit a fish and chip van. It is food every generation enjoys. Typical bookings include leaving parties and family parties with children, serving curry sauce, pie and chips and cod and chips.
In Telegraph Hill, a party at home is the usual choice, and parking is the question. A drive is ideal; otherwise, check what’s allowed on the street. A photo helps. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.

The menu, dish by dish

Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.

Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A short walk from the party
As a London location, Telegraph Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. A summer party in Telegraph Hill stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- 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.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Make sure the van can get in

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Occasions we serve in Telegraph Hill
Hot food beats a buffet that’s been out for hours, especially as the evening cools.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Milestone birthdays
- Kids’ birthday parties

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Telegraph Hill
Is parking a problem for the van in Telegraph Hill?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
What’s the nearest station to Telegraph Hill?
Telegraph Hill has its own station: Brockley station.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Tell us how many children are coming
- A picture of the parking spot helps
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
Planners, venues and businesses
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.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
A chip van compared with other options
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
