Party fish and chip van for Chandler's Ford events
Can’t 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 cooks in front of your guests instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
About our party fish and chip van in Chandler's Ford
The queue at the hatch gets people mixing, which is what a party is all about. Whether it’s birthday parties and leaving parties, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and pie and chips for your guests.
Birthdays, christenings and summer parties in Chandler's Ford frequently happen at home or in a local hall. A chip van suits either, given somewhere to park. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests typically gather round the hatch as soon as we open. A summer party in Chandler's Ford stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening.
