How our party fish and chip van works in Church Hanborough
Everything is cooked as people come up, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. For garden get-togethers and street parties, we can cook mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips and more.
Country parties near Church Hanborough suit a chip van: fried fresh and eaten outside. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Confirm allergies by email
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
Have bins and napkins by the van.
Plan cover in case of showers.
How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. At midsummer, it’s light in Church Hanborough until about 9:30pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- 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.
- We serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Let us know the serving time

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A buffet is easy but forgettable. The van becomes part of the party. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
