Party fish and chip van for Cliftonville events
About our party fish and chip van in Cliftonville
Guests who don’t know each other end up chatting in the queue, which is what a party is all about. For family celebrations after a christening and street parties, we can cook sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.
In a place like Cliftonville, a party at home is typically the easiest option. Let us know how the van reaches the house, and we’ll do the rest. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.

Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Cliftonville questions
Is Cliftonville close to London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.

Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
What do children eat?
Sausage and chips, normally. Tell us how many children to expect.

Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

Why choose party fish and chip van in Cliftonville?
You do not need a venue: a drive or a firm spot near the garden will do.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Typical bookings include:
- Engagement parties
- Birthday parties
- Children’s parties
- Reunions and family get-togethers
If the day starts at Church of St Paul, the van can be ready at the house when everyone arrives.
Questions to ask before booking
- When payment is due
- The service time, and the cost of running over
- What the van needs: space, access, power
- VAT, if it applies
The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. A summer party in Cliftonville stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; 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.
