About our party fish and chip van in Chambers' Green
A chip van works for birthdays, garden parties and family celebrations. Everyone from toddlers to grandparents knows what they’re getting. We serve mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for anniversaries and engagement parties and get-togethers with old friends.
Country parties near Chambers' Green suit a chip van: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. Everything is fried fresh at your party, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Questions from Chambers' Green
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: 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.
Do you come out to small places like Chambers' Green?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Can you park at our house?
Generally, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send us a picture and tell us about gates and branches.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. A summer party in Chambers' Green stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Give us a contact for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. 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. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
