You do not need to hire a hall: the van makes your home the party venue. We serve cod and chips, mushy peas and gravy, and typical bookings are for street parties and big birthdays.
Country parties near Cheeseman's Green suit a chip van: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The minimum booking
- Service time
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

What else we do in Cheeseman's Green
What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A spot near your guests
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Chips
- Cod and chips
- Gravy
- Curry sauce
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in Cheeseman's Green? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
