Party fish and chip van in Chartridge, fried fresh
Guests who don’t know each other end up chatting in the queue, which is what a party is all about. We are often asked to cater garden parties and summer get-togethers and neighbourhood get-togethers, with gravy, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
Near Chartridge, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

- A clear area by the serving hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

For event organisers in Chartridge
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
How the day works
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. For a late-May party in Chartridge, 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.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Count children separately
- Let your neighbours know
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
With children, food about an hour in works well.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
About the food
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
