Party fish and chip van for Blackhill events
Party fish and chip van in Blackhill, cooked to order
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a chip van too, with the right permissions in place. Typical bookings include family parties with children and garden get-togethers, serving sausage and chips, pie and chips and gravy.
In a small place like Blackhill, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Count children separately
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
After service, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. Sunset in Blackhill drops to about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get an access check and a clear price.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Blackhill: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Blackhill?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What do you need at the house?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Mention power and water and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
How early do summer dates go?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so ask early.
