Party fish and chip van for your party in College Town
It feels like a treat, but stays relaxed: paper portions of fish and chips in the garden. Typical bookings include anniversaries and engagement parties and reunions and family get-togethers, serving pie and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
In a place like College Town, a party at home is normally the easiest option. Let us know how the van reaches the house, and we will bring everything else. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Where the van can park in College Town
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Occasions we serve in College Town
It works at home: a drive or firm lawn is enough.
Almost any gathering works with a fish and chip van. In College Town, people book us for events such as:
- Summer garden parties
- Christenings and naming days
- Milestone birthdays
- Children’s parties
Parks such as Sandhurst Memorial Park normally need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first.
Before you book anyone
- The van’s size and access needs
- A clear list of what’s included
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- What happens if plans change
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Show us where the van would go
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
When everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.
Put the menu up by the van.
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. A summer party in College Town stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Clear the route for the van
