How our party fish and chip van works in Chislet
With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. Typical bookings include big birthdays and retirement parties, with mushy peas, gravy and sausage and chips.
In a small place like Chislet, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll plan the route. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Sunset in Chislet drops to about 7:00pm by late September and 3:50pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
