Party fish and chip van in Egerton
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Egerton
Do you come out to small places like Egerton?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Tell the council about the van.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
Can the van park on my drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Mention anything tight, and we will advise.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Egerton.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
How our party fish and chip van works in Egerton
It’s a treat that feels special without being formal: fish and chips from the van, eaten in the garden. Typical bookings include neighbourhood get-togethers and anniversaries and engagement parties, with cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
In a small place like Egerton, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
The process
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your party. At midsummer, it’s light in Egerton until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- First, tell us about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Ensure the van can get in
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

For event organisers in Egerton
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- The minimum booking
- Your choice of menu
- Numbers
- The day of the week
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- A picture of where the van would go
- The venue or postcode
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Any dietary needs and allergies
To get a price, use our quote form. Give us the details of your party, and we will come back with availability and a quote.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
Put the menu up by the van.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
