About our party fish and chip van in Booker
With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. The van parks, the fryers go on and the food goes out hot. We are frequently asked to cater christenings and naming days and birthday parties, with mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips.
Around Booker, a garden and a drive is all you need. The van fits right in. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A chip van compared with other options
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van gives people a choice. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
