Party fish and chip van for your party in Burley
Birthdays, garden parties, anniversaries and christenings all suit a fish and chip van. It is food every generation enjoys. For christenings and naming days and big birthdays, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, cod and chips and gravy.
A country party near Burley 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 are up and running.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
- Gravy
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Chips
Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. For a late-May party in Burley, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
