Party fish and chip van in Cole Henley
Party fish and chip van in Cole Henley, cooked to order
Food is fried to order, so it’s hot and crisp, not left out on a table for hours. Popular choices include gravy, cod and chips and curry sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater retirement parties and birthday parties.
Country parties near Cole Henley suit a chip van: fried fresh and eaten outside. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Show us where the van would go
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Send allergies to us in writing
Keep the queue away from the road if the van is on the drive.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Sunset in Cole Henley drops to about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- We check access for the van and send a quote.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
Getting a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
