Party fish and chip van for Bilsham events
How our party fish and chip van works in Bilsham
With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. The van parks, the fryers go on and the food goes out hot. On the menu are mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for leaving parties and milestone birthdays.
Near Bilsham, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Count children separately
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Let your neighbours know
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
Working with your venue
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Why choose party fish and chip van in Bilsham?

Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

- We start with a few details about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
