Party fish and chip van for your party in Boughton Aluph
The van can park on a drive, a hardstanding or a firm lawn, with the hatch facing your guests. Whether it’s family celebrations after a christening and big birthdays, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
In a small place like Boughton Aluph, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will plan the route. Everything is fried fresh at your party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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 cooks in front of your guests instead.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. In Boughton Aluph, a June party has light until about 9:15pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:00pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- First, tell us about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
