A chip van near Foxcotte
Party fish and chip van in Foxcotte, fried fresh
It feels like a treat, but stays relaxed: fish and chips from the van, eaten in the garden. On the menu are mushy peas, haddock and chips and curry sauce, and we are frequently booked for kids’ birthday parties and street parties.
In a small place like Foxcotte, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
A chip van compared with other options
Hiring a hall and a caterer adds up. A van on the drive keeps it simple. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.

The process
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. For a late-May party in Foxcotte, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:25pm. After dark, light the area around the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
