The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. A summer party in Aldworth stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Planning help
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Organising a club, school or community event in Aldworth? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- A photo of the parking spot helps
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Let your neighbours know
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in, before the cake.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.

Common questions in Aldworth
Is Aldworth close to London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Aldworth?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
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.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Tell the council about the van.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
