Party fish and chip van in Bramshill
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.

Party fish and chip van for your party in Bramshill
You do not need to hire a hall: the van makes your home the party venue. We serve gravy, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we are frequently booked for kids’ birthday parties and christenings and naming days.
Near Bramshill, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Bramshill: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at Mission Church?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Could you trade in Wellington Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we will confirm what we need.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
A chip van compared with other options
A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van gives people a choice. Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book with us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Fried fresh, not kept warm

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.

The process
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In Bramshill, a June party has light until about 9:25pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Share the timings for the day
