How our party fish and chip van works in Benover
A chip van also works for street parties, with the right permissions in place. For anniversary celebrations and family celebrations after a christening, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas for your guests.
In a small place like Benover, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Where the van can park in Benover
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A spot near your guests
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Questions from Benover
We’re gathering after a service at St Peter's and St Paul's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Benover?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Mention power and water and we’ll confirm the rest.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Tell the council about the van.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Count children separately
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Flag any coeliac guests
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, then serve as guests come up.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
Why book with us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Nothing for you to cook or clear

The process
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. Autumn and winter parties in Benover get dark early: about 7:00pm in late September and 3:50pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Ensure the van can get in
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
