DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.
How our party fish and chip van works in Westcombe Park
There is no need for a venue: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. For christenings and naming days and engagement parties, we can cook haddock and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce.
In Westcombe Park, a party at home is the usual choice, and parking is the question. A drive is ideal; otherwise, check what’s allowed on the street. A picture helps. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Where the van can park in Westcombe Park
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A short walk from the party
Westcombe 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

The process
There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your party. The frying and serving are down to us. A summer party in Westcombe Park stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check where the van can park and send a price.
- We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
- We pack up when we are done and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Name one person we can call on the day
Ask for a quote
It’s 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.

Party venues around Westcombe Park
Westcombe Park is about 2 miles east of New Cross, in Greater London. People in Westcombe Park book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. We cover 764 places in Greater London.
Nearby historic houses include Queen's House (1 mile west) and Eltham Palace (2.9 miles south-east). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler. Thinking of using East Greenwich Pleasaunce? Parks generally need the owner’s permission, frequently the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade.
For parties in SE10, SE7 and SE3, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. Streets in the area include Webb Road, Horn Lane and Hardy Road, and the van can serve a party on any of them with a suitable parking spot. We also bring the van to parties in Vanbrugh Park Estate (1 mile south-west), Maze Hill (1 mile west), Greenwich (1 mile west), New Charlton (1 mile north-east) and Charlton (1 mile east). Within a short drive, we also cover London (5 miles west), City of Westminster (8 miles west), Marylebone (7 miles west), Kensington (10 miles west), St Pancras (7 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (5 miles north-west).

Working with your venue
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Westcombe Park questions
We are gathering after a service at St George's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can the van park in East Greenwich Pleasaunce?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can the van park on my drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we will advise.
How far ahead should we book a party?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Give us separate numbers for children
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, then serve as guests come up.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
