Party fish and chip van in Wallington, fried fresh
Sausage and chips covers the children and anyone who does not want fish, so one van feeds the whole party. Popular choices include haddock and chips, gravy and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater children’s parties and family celebrations after a christening.
For a party in Wallington, home is frequently the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the lane, and we will bring everything else. Timings are planned around your party, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van gives people a choice. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
