Thorney questions
Is Thorney close to London?
Roughly 17 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you serve after a service at St. Leonard's?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you do street parties?
Often, yes. Start the road closure application early.
What do you need at the house?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Mention power and water and we will confirm the rest.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Thorney?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Will the van fit on our drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Mention anything tight, and we’ll advise.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Thorney? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests typically gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Sunset in Thorney is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. After dark, light the area around the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
How to prepare

- Get permission for the van from the venue
Getting a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Planning help
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Send us a picture of the drive
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Put allergy details in writing
We park on the agreed spot and set up, then serve as guests come up.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.

The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A short walk from the party
