Party fish and chip van for your party in Chesham
A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. We serve curry sauce, haddock and chips and gravy, and typical bookings are for children’s parties and neighbourhood get-togethers.
Garden parties are a favourite in Chesham, with a local hall or club as a good back-up. We just need a level spot. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.

What a fish and chip van costs

- The number of meals
- Your choice of menu
- Travel, tolls and road charges

There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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’s fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Common questions in Chesham
Which station is closest to Chesham?
The closest is Amersham station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
Can you serve after a service at Emmanuel?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your party and we’ll send a quote.
Do you cover Chesham?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Chesham. For a quote, use our quote form.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so it pays to ask early.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How the day works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your party. At midsummer, it’s light in Chesham until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- We serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.
