Party fish and chip van in Denton
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

Party fish and chip van in Denton, cooked to order
With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. The van parks, the fryers go on and the food goes out hot. On the menu are gravy, mushy peas and pie and chips, and we are frequently booked for retirement celebrations and children’s parties.
Around Denton, a garden and a drive is all you need. A chip van fits right in. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer weekends go first. Ask about your date.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Will the van fit on our drive?
That depends on the space and the route in. Mention anything tight, and we’ll advise.

Let us know about power and water at the house, and we’ll say what we need.
