Party fish and chip van for Temple Hill events
How our party fish and chip van works in Temple Hill
There’s no need for a venue: the van makes your home the party venue. Whether it’s birthday parties and neighbourhood get-togethers, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips and more.
Around Temple Hill, a garden and a drive is all you need. The van fits right in. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
Questions from Temple Hill
Could you trade in Central Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
We are gathering after a service at St Edmunds Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is there a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include them in your numbers.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Temple Hill?
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Count children separately
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Have a back-up for special diets
With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
Plan cover in case of showers.
What the van needs
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 area by the serving hatch
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
The process
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. At midsummer, it’s light in Temple Hill until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- 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.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- 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
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Clear the route for the van
- Share the timings for the day

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
