Party fish and chip van for your party in Andwell
It feels like a treat, but stays relaxed: fish and chips from the van, eaten in the garden. We serve cod and chips, mushy peas and gravy, and we’re frequently booked for kids’ birthday parties and summer garden parties.
Near Andwell, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
