How our party fish and chip van works in Upton Park
Guests who don’t know each other end up chatting in the queue, which is what a party is all about. We are frequently asked to cater christenings and naming days and reunions and family get-togethers, with sausage and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas.
In Upton Park, a party at home is the usual choice, and parking is the question. If you have a drive, the van can frequently go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. A photo helps. 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.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

Common questions in Upton Park
Which station is closest to Upton Park?
The closest is Woodgrange Park station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Can you serve after a service at St Martin's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
What the van needs
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
Upton Park 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’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
