Party fish and chip van in Clifton
What happens on the day
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. Midsummer parties in Clifton stay bright until about 9:30pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive

- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

About our party fish and chip van in Clifton
A chip van works for birthdays, garden parties and family celebrations. Everyone from toddlers to grandparents knows what they’re getting. On the menu are sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for family parties with children and reunions and family get-togethers.
In a small place like Clifton, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will plan the route. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Clifton: your questions answered
Is Clifton too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Clifton?
Kings Sutton station, about 2.7 miles north of the centre.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, where the council allows it. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer weekends go first. Get in touch with your date.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Clifton?
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
