Fish and chip van for parties, fried fresh on the day
A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. We park on the drive, the street or the field, fry to order and hand it over hot, so you can spend the party with your guests.
It works for big birthdays, garden parties, anniversaries, christenings and street parties. Everyone from toddlers to grandparents knows what they’re getting, and a sausage and chips covers the children who don’t want fish.

How it works
- You tell us the date, the address, roughly how many guests and when you’d like to eat.
- We check access for the van and send a quote.
- On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
- We pack up when we’re done and leave the pitch tidy.
Parking the van at home
We need somewhere level and firm to park the van close to the party, such as a drive, a hardstanding or a firm lawn, with a way in that’s wide enough. On a street, check parking restrictions and let the neighbours know. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Smaller parties
Tell us your numbers even if they’re small. We’ll say honestly whether a van makes sense for your party.
A fish and chip van compared with other event catering
| Option | Good for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Fish and chip van | Fried to order and served hot; a menu almost everyone likes; no kitchen needed | Needs a level, firm spot the van can reach |
| Hog roast | Popular for big outdoor events | One main dish; harder for guests who don’t eat pork |
| Barbecue | Casual and familiar | Food comes off in batches; someone has to cook it |
| Cold buffet | Simple; no vehicle access needed | Food sits out; nothing hot on a cold evening |
| Plated meal | Formal and traditional | Needs a kitchen, more staff and usually costs more per head |
