Party fish and chip van in Binscombe, cooked to order
Everything is cooked as people come up, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. We are often asked to cater neighbourhood get-togethers and retirement celebrations, with cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
Country parties near Binscombe suit a chip van: fried fresh and eaten outside. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto

Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
Buffets are simple but rarely memorable. The van becomes part of the party. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.
What you get with us

Binscombe: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Binscombe?
Farncombe station, about 0.7 miles south-east of the centre.
How far is Binscombe from London?
About 30 miles from central London.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you come to Binscombe?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Binscombe. For a quote, use our quote form.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before booking.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Surrey. Find your area.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- A photo of the parking spot helps
With children, food about an hour in works well.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.
What affects the price in Binscombe
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Service time
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The day of the week
- Any minimum charge
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Your date and serving time
