Party fish and chip van in Faringdon
About our party fish and chip van in Faringdon
It is a treat that feels special without being formal: paper portions of fish and chips in the garden. We’re frequently asked to cater garden get-togethers and retirement celebrations, serving mushy peas, sausage and chips and gravy.
In a place like Faringdon, a party at home is usually the easiest option. Let us know how the van reaches the house, and we’ll bring everything else. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Autumn and winter parties in Faringdon get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check access for the van and send a quote.
- On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
Before we arrive
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Have a level parking spot ready

Events we cater in Faringdon

Faringdon questions
We’re gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Faringdon close to London?
About 65 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. See all areas.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
When should we book for a summer party?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so ask early.
Do you cover Faringdon?
Yes, we do. Faringdon is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
When everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce

- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
