Party fish and chip van in Barton Stacey
How our party fish and chip van works in Barton Stacey
For children, there’s sausage and chips, so one van feeds the whole party. On the menu are sausage and chips, gravy and cod and chips, and we are frequently booked for garden get-togethers and naming days and christenings.
Country parties near Barton Stacey suit a chip van: fried fresh and eaten outside. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. Timings are planned around your party, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. A summer party in Barton Stacey stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
