Party fish and chip van for your party in Bramshaw
Everything is cooked as people come up, not left out on a table for hours. For naming days and christenings and big birthdays, we can cook curry sauce, pie and chips and gravy for your guests.
In a small place like Bramshaw, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will plan the route. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Give us separate numbers for children
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in, before the cake.
Finish with the birthday cake.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Bramshaw
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Bramshaw too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Bramshaw.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
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.
What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve
