The process
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. At midsummer, it is light in Danesfield until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Ensure the van can get in
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Danesfield
Is Danesfield too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Will the van fit on our drive?
That depends on the space and the route in. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we will advise.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.
What the van needs
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

A chip van compared with other options
A buffet is easy but forgettable. The van becomes part of the party. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
What you get with us
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- All the chip-shop extras
- A clear quote before you book
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
