Party fish and chip van for your party in Burley Street
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a chip van too, once the council has agreed the road closure. We’re often asked to cater anniversary celebrations and birthday parties, serving gravy, cod and chips and mushy peas.
In a small place like Burley Street, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Numbers
- How far we travel
- Any minimum charge
- The length of service
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your party is.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of the space and the way in
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Sunset in Burley Street is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. After dark, light the area around the van.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check access for the van and send a quote.
- We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
How to get a price
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. To start, use our quote form.

Burley Street: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Burley Street Mission Hall: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Burley Street too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can the van park on my drive?
Typically, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send a picture of the drive and the way in.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A short walk from the party
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Gravy
- Chips
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
