Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Count children separately
- Check the street’s parking rules

- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
Keep the queue away from the road.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
Party fish and chip van in Broadstone, fried fresh
It is a treat that feels special without being formal: paper portions of fish and chips in the garden. Popular choices include mushy peas, cod and chips and curry sauce, and we are frequently booked for retirement parties and family reunions.
In a small place like Broadstone, 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. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
Common questions in Broadstone
Do you come out to small places like Broadstone?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Broadstone from London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How early do summer dates go?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Broadstone?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Perfect for your party in Broadstone
There’s no kitchen to clear up afterwards, which makes the morning after much easier.
Whatever brings people together, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. We’re often booked for:

Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- The day of the week
- Distance and any road charges
- Your choice of menu
- Service time
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Expected numbers
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of where the van would go
Each quote is put together for your party. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability straight away.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Buffets are simple but rarely memorable. A chip van gives guests something to talk about. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
