Party fish and chip van for your party in Bagnum
A chip van works for birthdays, garden parties and family celebrations. It’s food every generation enjoys. We’re frequently asked to cater street parties and christenings and naming days, serving mushy peas, gravy and pie and chips.
In a small place like Bagnum, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.

Common questions in Bagnum
Do you come out to small places like Bagnum?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so ask early.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
A chip van compared with other options
Next to a DIY barbecue, a chip van means nobody is stuck at the grill. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Any minimum charge
- How long we serve
- Your choice of menu
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The address or venue name
- A photo of the parking spot
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
