Party fish and chip van for Burgh Heath events
How our party fish and chip van works in Burgh Heath
The queue at the hatch gets people mixing, which is what a party is all about. Typical bookings include family celebrations after a christening and garden get-togethers, serving mushy peas, gravy and cod and chips.
A country party near Burgh Heath is perfect for fish and chips: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party
The price comes down to a few factors:

- Service time
- Access and parking
- The day of the week
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.

How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Sunset in Burgh Heath is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Give us a contact for the day
