About our party fish and chip van in Fishbourne
A chip van works for birthdays, garden parties and family celebrations. It is food every generation enjoys. We’re frequently asked to cater summer garden parties and birthday parties, serving gravy, cod and chips and curry sauce.
In a place like Fishbourne, a party at home is normally the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the lane, and we’ll do the rest. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Count children separately
- Let your neighbours know
- Send us a photo of the drive
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in, before the cake.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
For event organisers in Fishbourne
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.

A chip van compared with other options
