A chip van near Amersham
How our party fish and chip van works in Amersham
With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. The van parks, the fryers go on and the food goes out hot. We are frequently asked to cater christenings and naming days and retirement celebrations, serving gravy, mushy peas and pie and chips.
In a town like Amersham, a garden party with the van on the drive is the classic choice, with a local hall or club as a good back-up. We just need a level spot. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Sunset in Amersham is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check where the van can park and send a price.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
