About our party fish and chip van in Clanville
Everything is cooked as people come up, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. Whether it’s retirement parties and milestone birthdays, we can cook cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
Country parties near Clanville suit a chip van: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The date and time of year
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Access and parking
- The minimum booking
Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

Common questions in Clanville
Is Clanville too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve after a service at St Margaret's Chapel?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What do children eat?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Do you need power or water from us?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. Sunset in Clanville drops to about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December, so think about lighting by the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
Getting a price
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.

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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Confirmation that the van can park there
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips

Let the neighbours know the van is coming, or invite them.
