Party fish and chip van in Brewer Street, cooked to order
You do not need to hire a hall: the van makes your home the party venue. We serve mushy peas, gravy and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for get-togethers with old friends and street parties and neighbourhood events.
In a small place like Brewer Street, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Flag any coeliac guests
Put bins and napkins near the hatch.
Finish with the birthday cake.
Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
