How our party fish and chip van works in Crookham Village
Food is fried to order, so it is hot and crisp, not left out on a table for hours. For reunions and family get-togethers and birthday parties, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, cod and chips and gravy for your guests.
A country party near Crookham Village is perfect for fish and chips: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Let your neighbours know
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Put allergy details in writing
Have bins and napkins by the van.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. In Crookham Village, a June party has light until about 9:25pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.

Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.

Can you come to a street party?
Yes, where the council allows it. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
Can the van park on my drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll tell you honestly.

Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
