Party fish and chip van for your party in Dora's Green
Everything is cooked as people come up, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. Popular choices include cod and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for anniversary celebrations and leaving parties.
Country parties near Dora's Green suit a chip van: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Autumn and winter parties in Dora's Green get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- 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
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Why choose a fish and chip van in Dora's Green?
Buffets are simple but rarely memorable. The van becomes part of the party. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.

Read our pricing or our guide to van hire costs.
Can’t 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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Send us a photo of the drive
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
A few lights around the van look great.
