Party fish and chip van in Goose Hill
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
How our party fish and chip van works in Goose Hill
We park on the drive or a firm spot near the party, with the hatch facing your guests. Typical bookings include anniversaries and engagement parties and leaving parties, with gravy, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
Country parties near Goose Hill suit a chip van: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Midsummer parties in Goose Hill stay bright until about 9:25pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.

Organising for someone else?
Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Buffets are simple but rarely memorable. A chip van gives guests something to talk about. Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Something for guests to gather round
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
Read our prices page and our guide to van hire costs.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
What we serve
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Curry sauce
- Gravy
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips

Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Put allergy details in writing
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
Keep the queue away from the road if the van is on the drive.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.
