Party fish and chip van in Tower Hamlets
About our party fish and chip van in Tower Hamlets
Everything is cooked as people come up, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. We’re often asked to cater christenings and naming days and reunions and family get-togethers, with pie and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
For a party in Tower Hamlets, home is frequently the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the lane, and we’ll do the rest. Everything is fried fresh at your party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Party venues around Tower Hamlets
Tower Hamlets is about 1 mile south of Dover, in Kent. People in Tower Hamlets book us for all sorts of reasons, but it always starts the same way: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. We cover all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Tower Hamlets to Canterbury (about 14 miles away).
For party guests on the train, Dover Priory station serves Tower Hamlets directly.

No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before you book.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Why choose party fish and chip van in Tower Hamlets?
No washing up, no cold buffet to throw away.
The van suits big events and small ones. Common bookings include:
- Naming days and christenings
- Birthday parties
- Get-togethers with old friends
- Children’s parties
If you had High Meadow in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans can’t simply park up and serve in a public park.

How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests typically gather round the hatch once service starts. A summer party in Tower Hamlets stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
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.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
Compared with cooking a barbecue yourself, the host isn’t stuck cooking all afternoon. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
