Party fish and chip van in Coggins Mill, fried fresh
With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. For get-togethers with old friends and leaving parties, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips for your guests.
In a small place like Coggins Mill, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Sunset in Coggins Mill drops to about 7:00pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
