Fresh fish and chips in The Burroughs
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
How our party fish and chip van works in The Burroughs
You do not need to hire a hall: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. Whether it’s street parties and family parties with children, we can cook curry sauce, pie and chips and mushy peas and more.
In The Burroughs, a party at home is the usual choice, and parking is the question. If you have a drive, the van can frequently go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. Send us a picture. Everything is fried fresh at your party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Common questions in The Burroughs
Can the van park in Hendon Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about parking in The Burroughs?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can the van come to The Burroughs?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and The Burroughs is within our area and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, use our quote form.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so it pays to ask early.
Can you do something for the children?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Tell us how many children to expect.
A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In The Burroughs, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Clear the route for the van
How to get a price

Planning help
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
The Burroughs 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
