How our party fish and chip van works in Ellen's Green
The van can park on a drive, a hardstanding or a firm lawn, with the hatch facing your guests. Typical bookings include summer garden parties and get-togethers with old friends, with curry sauce, gravy and cod and chips.
In a small place like Ellen's Green, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Working with your venue
Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
