How our party fish and chip van works in Chattenden
A chip van also works for street parties, once the council has agreed the road closure. For anniversaries and engagement parties and summer garden parties, we can cook haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
Country parties near Chattenden suit a chip van: fried fresh and eaten outside. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. Everything is fried fresh at your party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Autumn and winter parties in Chattenden get dark early: about 7:00pm in late September and 3:50pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- We check where the van can park and send a price.
- On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
- We pack up when we’re done and leave the pitch tidy.
