Party fish and chip van for your party in The Hyde
Sausage and chips covers the children and anyone who doesn’t want fish, so one van feeds the whole party. Popular choices include sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater neighbourhood get-togethers and birthday parties.
Most parties in The Hyde are at home, and in London that normally means a drive or street parking. If you have a drive, the van can often go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. Send us a photo. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Step by step
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Autumn and winter parties in The Hyde get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- 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.

Common questions in The Hyde
What’s the nearest station to The Hyde?
Hendon station, in The Hyde itself.
Can the van park in West Hendon Playing Fields?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Is there a non-fish option?
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.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
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.
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
The Hyde 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 you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
