Party fish and chip van in The Hale, fried fresh

There’s no need for a venue: the van makes your home the party venue. For street parties and anniversary celebrations, we can cook curry sauce, pie and chips and gravy.

Most parties in The Hale are at home, and in London that generally 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 picture. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Location: The Hale (HA8, NW7)

Can the van park in Stoneyfields Park?

Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

Sausage and chips, generally. Tell us how many children to expect.

How it works

Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. A summer party in The Hale stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
You get an access check and a clear price.
We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
We pack up when we’re done and leave the pitch tidy.

What the van needs

Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:

Lighting nearby for evening events
Space for people to queue at the hatch
A level, firm spot the van can drive onto

As a London location, The Hale is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: 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.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your party is.

Why us?

A menu almost everyone likes
A clear quote before booking
We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
Nothing for you to cook or clear

Read our prices page and the cost guide.

Takeaway run or book a van?

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

What a fish and chip van costs

These are the factors that matter most:

The minimum booking
Numbers
The menu and how many choices
Peak dates such as summer Saturdays

Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

Details that help

These details help us quote quickly:

Any dietary needs and allergies
Roughly how many people, including children
Anything awkward about the way in
Your date and serving time
