About our party fish and chip van in Ewell
Guests who do not know each other end up chatting in the queue. Whether it’s big birthdays and reunions and family get-togethers, we will put together a menu of gravy, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
In Ewell, home and the local hall are popular party venues. The van works at both, given somewhere to park. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
The process
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your party. The frying and serving are down to us. For a late-May party in Ewell, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check access for the van and send a quote.
- We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
- We serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
How to prepare
- Get permission for the van from the venue
