Party fish and chip van for your party in Church Street
The van can park on a drive, a hardstanding or a firm lawn, with the hatch facing your guests. We are frequently asked to cater summer garden parties and get-togethers with old friends, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
In a small place like Church Street, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
FAQs for Church Street
What’s the nearest station to Church Street?
Higham station, about 0.9 miles south of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Church Street?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Organising for someone else?
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Church Street? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- A photo of the parking spot helps
- Put allergy details in writing
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Put bins and napkins near the hatch.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
Step by step
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Sunset in Church Street drops to about 7:00pm by late September and 3:50pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Let us know the serving time
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
