Planning an event in Easton?
How it works
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In Easton, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:10pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check where the van can park and send a price.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- We serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Have a level parking spot ready

How our party fish and chip van works in Easton
We park on the drive or a firm spot near the party, with the hatch facing your guests. For milestone birthdays and get-togethers with old friends, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
Country parties near Easton suit a chip van: fried fresh and eaten outside. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. Everything is fried fresh at your party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
For somewhere as remote as Easton, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

About the food
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- A photo of the parking spot helps
Plan where the queue stands if the van is on the drive.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- How far we travel
- Numbers
- Your choice of menu
- The length of service
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of where the van would go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Each quote is put together for your party. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.

Questions from Easton
We’re gathering after a service at St. Agnes' 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. Tell us where you will gather.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you do something for the children?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include them in your numbers.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including the Isle of Wight. Find your area.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
Buffets are simple but rarely memorable. A chip van gives guests something to talk about. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
