How our party fish and chip van works in West End
A chip van also works for street parties, once the council has agreed the road closure. Typical bookings include neighbourhood get-togethers and big birthdays, serving haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
Throwing a party in West End? A chip van keeps you out of the kitchen, and works on drives, in yards and at hired halls. Tell us about parking permits. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

A chip van compared with other options
Next to a DIY barbecue, the host is not stuck cooking all afternoon. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Why us?
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Hot food handed straight over
- Everything cooked to order at your event

FAQs for West End
Can the van park in St Anne's Churchyard?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to West End?
Tottenham Court Road station, in West End itself.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Do you need power or water from us?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Mention power and water and we will confirm the rest.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Send us a picture of the drive
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Let your neighbours know
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
Keep the queue away from the road.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
Step by step
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests usually gather round the hatch once service starts. Sunset in West End drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Give us a contact for the day
Getting a price
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can use our quote form.

Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
As a London location, West End 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 before you book.
