Party fish and chip van in Blackboys, cooked to order
A chip van works for birthdays, garden parties and family celebrations. It’s food every generation enjoys. We’re often asked to cater retirement celebrations and christenings and naming days, with haddock and chips, cod and chips and gravy.
Near Blackboys, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
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.

Questions from Blackboys
Can the van park in Passingworth Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, East Sussex included. See all areas.
What do children eat?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include them in your numbers.
What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The day of the week
- The menu and how many choices
- How long we serve
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Anything awkward about the way in
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Tell us about your party in Blackboys, and we’ll check the date and send a price.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
