Party fish and chip van for your party in Cooper's Corner
A chip van works for birthdays, garden parties and family celebrations. It’s food every generation enjoys. We serve cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we are often booked for anniversaries and engagement parties and retirement celebrations.
In a small place like Cooper's Corner, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
