How our party fish and chip van works in Fernham
A chip van also works for street parties, once the council has agreed the road closure. Typical bookings include birthday parties and reunions and family get-togethers, with mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
A country party near Fernham is perfect for fish and chips: fried fresh and eaten outside. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

How far is Fernham from London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How early do summer dates go?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before booking.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Can you come to a street party?
Frequently, yes. Start the road closure application early.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Fernham?
