Fresh fish and chips in Barnsole
Party fish and chip van for your party in Barnsole
Food is fried to order, so it is hot and crisp, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. Typical bookings include get-togethers with old friends and summer garden parties, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
In a small place like Barnsole, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Have a back-up for special diets
- A picture of the parking spot helps
- Flag any coeliac guests
Have bins and napkins by the van.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
