DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Bassett Green
Is Bassett Green close to London?
About 68 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve near the sea around Bassett Green?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Mention the van in your application.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.

How the day works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. At midsummer, it’s light in Bassett Green until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
