Party fish and chip van in Binley
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Party fish and chip van in Binley, cooked to order
Everything is cooked as people come up, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. On the menu are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy, and we are regularly asked to cater birthday parties and christenings and naming days.
A country party near Binley is perfect for fish and chips: fried fresh and eaten outside. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Binley
Do you come out to small places like Binley?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Binley?

Can you serve children?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you fry it on site?

Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Hampshire included. Find your area.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
What the van needs
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Flat, firm ground for the van

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. At midsummer, it is light in Binley 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.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo 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.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Tell us when you want to eat
