A chip van near Bisley
Party fish and chip van in Bisley, fried fresh
Food is fried to order, so it is hot and crisp, not left out on a table for hours. On the menu are mushy peas, pie and chips and curry sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater naming days and christenings and neighbourhood get-togethers.
Parties around Bisley are often relaxed garden affairs. The van fits right in. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.
Occasions we serve in Bisley
It feels like a treat, and it gets people talking.
Here are some of the occasions we serve:
- Retirement parties
- Birthday parties
- Summer garden parties

If you had Bisley and West End Commons in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans can’t simply park up and serve in a public park.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Parking and the way in
- The number of meals
- Your choice of menu
- How far we travel
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

Bisley: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St John the Baptist: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How far is Bisley from London?
About 26 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Popular choices

Organising for someone else?
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Ensure the van can park legally
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Send us a picture of the drive
- Have a back-up for special diets
After service, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.
Finish with the birthday cake.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
How it works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. A summer party in Bisley stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
