About our party fish and chip van in Three Mills

For children, there is sausage and chips, so one van feeds the whole party. For leaving parties and anniversary celebrations, we can cook pie and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.

Most parties in Three Mills are at home, and in London that normally 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. A photo helps. Timings are planned around your party, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Allergies and dietary needs

Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

  • Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
  • Give us separate numbers for children
  • Send us a picture of the drive
  • Send allergies to us in writing

Let the neighbours know the van is coming.

A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.

Planning the van’s spot

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:

  • Lighting nearby for evening events
  • A clear area by the serving hatch
  • A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates

As a London location, Three Mills is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Three Mills

Can the van park in Bob's Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.

Is parking a problem for the van in Three Mills?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.

What if the weather’s bad?

The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Do you need power or water?

Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.

How do you handle allergies?

Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.

How long does set-up take?

We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.

What can guests choose from?

Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.

A closer look at the menu

Gravy

In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

Haddock and chips

Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Working with your venue

Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

How it works

Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Midsummer parties in Three Mills stay bright until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.

  1. Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

How to prepare

  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Get permission for the van from the venue
  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
