About our party fish and chip van in Emmington

Typical bookings include anniversaries and engagement parties and summer garden parties, serving haddock and chips, curry sauce and pie and chips.

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Count children separately
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Mention the van to neighbours
With children, food about an hour in works well.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.
Emmington: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Emmington?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Emmington close to London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so ask early.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
