Party fish and chip van in Arford, cooked to order
There is no need for a venue: the van makes your home the party venue. Typical bookings include neighbourhood get-togethers and reunions and family get-togethers, serving pie and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Country parties near Arford suit a chip van: fried fresh and eaten outside. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Arford: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Arford?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
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.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Hampshire. See all areas.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
