Party fish and chip van for your party in Cippenham
With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. The van parks, the fryers go on and the food goes out hot. For engagement parties and garden parties and summer get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips.
In a place like Cippenham, a party at home is normally the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the lane, and we will do the rest. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

Cippenham questions
Can the van park in Haymill Valley?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Cippenham?
The closest is Burnham station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. At midsummer, it’s light in Cippenham until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check access for the van and send a quote.
- On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
- We serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.
- Afterwards, we clear up and leave you to it.

Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
