About our party fish and chip van in Brook
Everything is cooked as people come up, not left out on a table for hours. We are often asked to cater leaving parties and summer garden parties, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
In a small place like Brook, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.
How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. A summer party in Brook stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
Ask for a quote
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Planning help
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
