A chip van near Boughton Malherbe
How our party fish and chip van works in Boughton Malherbe
We park on the drive or a firm spot near the party, with the serving hatch towards the garden. We are frequently asked to cater garden parties and summer get-togethers and family celebrations after a christening, with curry sauce, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
In a small place like Boughton Malherbe, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. Timings are planned around your party, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.

What else we do in Boughton Malherbe
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Numbers
- Cod, haddock or both
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Expected numbers
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A buffet is easy but forgettable. A chip van gives guests something to talk about. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
What you get with us
- Something for guests to gather round
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Hot food handed straight over

The process
You don’t need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your party. The frying and serving are down to us. Sunset in Boughton Malherbe is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Let us know the serving time
