Party fish and chip van in Dawesgreen, cooked to order
With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. We serve curry sauce, gravy and sausage and chips, and we’re often booked for reunions and family get-togethers and anniversary celebrations.
Country parties near Dawesgreen suit a chip van: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The day of the week
- How many people are eating
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.

Dawesgreen questions
Is Dawesgreen close to London?
Roughly 21 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Dawesgreen?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can the van park on my drive?
Usually, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send a picture of the drive and the way in.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
What do you need at the house?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Mention power and water and we’ll confirm the rest.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
