How the day works

Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. In Delly End, a June party has light until about 9:30pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:10pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.

  1. First, tell us about your party.
  2. You get an availability check and a clear quote.
  3. Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
  4. On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
  5. Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Preparing for the day

  • Give us your final numbers and allergies
  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Get permission for the van from the venue

Is a fish and chip van right for your party?

A venue plus caterer can be expensive. A van on the drive keeps it simple. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

Why us?

  • A quote that spells everything out
  • No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
  • Hot food handed straight over
  • A menu almost everyone likes

For event organisers in Delly End

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Delly End

Which station is closest to Delly End?

Finstock station, about 2.6 miles north of the centre.

Can you serve after a service at Church of St John the Evangelist?

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.

What does it cost to hire the van?

The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your party and we will send a quote.

Do we need to provide anything?

Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.

How do you handle allergies?

Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.

How long does set-up take?

That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

Will the van fit on our drive?

That depends on the space and the route in. Mention anything tight, and we’ll advise.

How far ahead should we book a party?

Summer weekends go first. Ask about your date.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Diets, allergies and planning

We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Collect allergies with your RSVPs
  • Mention the van to neighbours
  • Put allergy details in writing
  • Ensure the van can park legally

Plan where the queue stands if the van is on the drive.

A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.

Food your guests will love

Cod and chips

Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

Sausage and chips

Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
