About the food
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
How our party fish and chip van works in East Clandon
The queue at the hatch gets people mixing, which is what a party is all about. For family parties with children and street parties and neighbourhood events, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips for your guests.
In a small place like East Clandon, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

- Let your neighbours know
After service, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.
