Party fish and chip van in West Silvertown, cooked to order
A chip van also works for street parties, with the right permissions in place. Typical bookings include street parties and big birthdays, with gravy, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
Most parties in West Silvertown are at home, and in London that usually means a drive or street parking. A drive is ideal; otherwise, check what’s allowed on the street. Send us a picture. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

West Silvertown questions
We’re gathering after a service at St Barnabas' Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Could you trade in Thames Barrier Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
How far ahead should we book a party?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Get in touch with your date.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
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?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Events we cater in West Silvertown

For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Count children separately
- A photo of the parking spot helps
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Mention the van to neighbours
Plan where the queue stands if the van is on the drive.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.
The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. For a late-May party in West Silvertown, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. After dark, light the area around the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Food your guests will love
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Where the van can park in West Silvertown
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Access wide and high enough for the van
As a London location, West Silvertown 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’ll advise before you book.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The minimum booking
- Distance and any road charges
- Service time
- Parking and the way in
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of where the van would go
