About our party fish and chip van in Folly Town
It feels like a treat, but stays relaxed: paper portions of fish and chips in the garden. Whether it is retirement celebrations and get-togethers with old friends, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas for your guests.
In a small place like Folly Town, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. Everything is fried fresh at your party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A short walk from the party
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- We check where the van can park and send a price.
- 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 when we are done and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
