Party fish and chip van for Cuxton events
How our party fish and chip van works in Cuxton
Sausage and chips covers the children and anyone who does not want fish, so nobody needs a separate meal. Typical bookings include summer garden parties and family reunions, with pie and chips, gravy and mushy peas.
Country parties near Cuxton suit a chip van: fried fresh and eaten outside. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A spot near your guests
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van

Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

Questions from Cuxton
Do you come out to small places like Cuxton?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Cuxton?
Cuxton has its own station: Cuxton station.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Tell the council about the van.
Will the van fit on our drive?
Often, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send us a photo and tell us about gates and branches.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
