How our party fish and chip van works in Faygate
We park on the drive or a firm spot near the party, with the serving hatch towards the garden. We serve gravy, cod and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for retirement parties and naming days and christenings.
In a small place like Faygate, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll plan the route. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Is Faygate too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Mention the van in your application.
Will the van fit on our drive?
Frequently, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send us a picture and tell us about gates and branches.
