Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.

Why choose a fish and chip van in West Heath?
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
Why us?
- A van that becomes part of the event
- No kitchen needed
- Bookings across Greater London, including West Heath
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

Abbey Wood station, about 1 mile north of the centre.
What about parking in West Heath?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, where the council allows it. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.

For event organisers in West Heath
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How long we serve
- How easy the site is to reach
- Any minimum charge
- Numbers
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of the parking spot
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Events we cater in West Heath
Hot food beats a buffet that is been out for hours, especially as the evening cools.
The van suits big events and small ones. Common bookings include:
- Summer garden parties
- Family parties with children
- Birthday parties
- Naming days and christenings
A green space like Lesnes Abbey Woods is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s.
Comparing caterers
- Allergen information for each item
- VAT, if it applies
- When final numbers are due
- The van’s size and access needs
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
As a London location, West Heath is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
