What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A short walk from the party
As a London location, Thamesmead is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Planners, venues and businesses
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Step by step
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. In Thamesmead, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

A chip van compared with other options
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

Common questions in Thamesmead
Which station is closest to Thamesmead?
The closest is Abbey Wood station, roughly 1 mile away.
Can you serve after a service at St Paul?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
What do children eat?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Numbers
- Parking and the way in
- Service time
- Whether a minimum applies
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- A picture of where the van would go
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.
