Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Baybridge
Is Baybridge close to London?
About 61 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Baybridge?
Shawford station, about 3.5 miles west of the centre.
What food do you serve?
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 do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What happens on the day
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. At midsummer, it’s light in Baybridge 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.
- Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check where the van can park and send a price.
- We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
- We serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.
- Afterwards, we clear up and leave you to it.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A buffet is easy but forgettable. A chip van gives guests something to talk about. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.
