Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
How it works
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your party. For a late-May party in Bix, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:25pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Make sure the van can park legally
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Have a back-up for special diets
Keep the queue away from the road if the van is on the drive.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.

If the day starts at Church of St James, the van can be ready at the house when everyone arrives.

FAQs for Bix
Do you come out to small places like Bix?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Bix from London?
About 37 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do something for the children?
Sausage and chips, usually. Tell us how many children to expect.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Who books party fish and chip van in Bix?
No washing up, no cold buffet to throw away, which makes the morning after much easier.
