About our party fish and chip van in Furnace Green
You do not need to hire a hall: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. For naming days and christenings and garden parties and summer get-togethers, we can cook sausage and chips, curry sauce and pie and chips for your guests.
For a party in Furnace Green, home is frequently the best venue. Let us know how the van reaches the house, and we will bring everything else. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
- Access and parking
- The length of service
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Your date and serving time
- A photo of the parking spot
- Expected numbers
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Show us where the van would go
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Count children separately
Keep the queue away from the road if the van is on the drive.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
A chip van compared with other options
A buffet is easy but forgettable. The van becomes part of the party. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your party.
What you get with us
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- No kitchen needed
- A quote that spells everything out
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
See our pricing or the cost guide.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Furnace Green
Can the van park in Tilgate Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you serve after a service at St Andrew's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you need power or water from us?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we will say what we need.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Tell the council about the van.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
