Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van gives people a choice. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What you get with us

Why choose party fish and chip van in East Garston?
Everyone from toddlers to grandparents enjoys it, which makes it perfect for family celebrations.
Here are some of the occasions we serve:
- Retirement parties
- Big birthdays
- Garden parties and summer get-togethers
- Anniversaries and engagement parties
After a christening at a church like Church of All Saints, a chip van at home is an easy way to feed family and friends.
Before booking anyone
- Whether there is a minimum
- How late numbers can change
- What the price includes, item by item
- How much space the van takes up
Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Parking and the way in
- The menu and how many choices
- The day of the week
- Any minimum charge
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The address or venue name
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in East Garston
Is East Garston close to London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Do we need to provide anything?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Tell us what’s available and we’ll take it from there.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
How far ahead should we book a party?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Get in touch with your date.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
