Party fish and chip van in Bar End
How our party fish and chip van works in Bar End
Everything is cooked as people come up, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. Whether it’s garden get-togethers and naming days and christenings, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips and more.
Near Bar End, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Parking and the way in
- How many people are eating
- Whether a minimum applies
- How far we travel
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.

Is a fish and chip van right for your party?

Why book with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- No surprises in your quote

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
