Party fish and chip van for Abingworth events
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
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.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Ensure the van can park legally
- Let your neighbours know
- A picture of the parking spot helps
- Send allergies to us in writing
Put bins and napkins near the hatch.
Put the menu up by the van.
How the day works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. Autumn and winter parties in Abingworth get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Tell us when you want to eat

Questions from Abingworth
Can you serve after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary?
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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Abingworth close to London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you cover Abingworth?
We do. Abingworth is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you do street parties?
Frequently, yes. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Abingworth.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
