Planning an event in Bure Park?
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
About our party fish and chip van in Bure Park
A chip van also works for street parties, once the council has agreed the road closure. We are often asked to cater family parties with children and get-togethers with old friends, with gravy, cod and chips and curry sauce.
Parties around Bure Park are frequently relaxed garden affairs. The van fits right in. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

About the food
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it’s on the menu.
The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Autumn and winter parties in Bure Park get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- We check access for the van and send a quote.
- We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
- We pack up when we are done and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Make sure the van can get in

Planning help
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Send us a photo of the drive
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Put allergy details in writing
- Check the street’s parking rules
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in, before the cake.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.
Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A spot near your guests
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

A chip van compared with other options
A venue plus caterer can be expensive. A van on the drive keeps it simple. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.

What else we do in Bure Park
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy the site is to reach
- Distance and any road charges
- Numbers
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The address or venue name
- A photo of the parking spot
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
