Fresh fish and chips in Boarhunt
A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips

Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
About our party fish and chip van in Boarhunt
Everything is cooked as people come up, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. Typical bookings include family celebrations after a christening and reunions and family get-togethers, with cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
A country party near Boarhunt is perfect for fish and chips: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and how many choices
- How far we travel
- Parking and the way in
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your party.
Getting an accurate quote
These details help us quote quickly:
- The address or venue name
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Working with your venue
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
Let the neighbours know the van is coming.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
Step by step
The first sign we have arrived is usually the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. A summer party in Boarhunt stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Ensure the van can get in
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
