Party fish and chip van for your party in East Garston Woodlands

In a small place like East Garston Woodlands, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will plan the route. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

- The date and time of year
- How far we travel
- Whether a minimum applies
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in East Garston Woodlands
We’re gathering after a service at St Mary's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How far is East Garston Woodlands from London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Can you park at our house?
It depends on the drive and the access. Mention anything tight, and we’ll advise.
