About our party fish and chip van in Great Burgh
With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. The van parks, the fryers go on and the food goes out hot. For summer garden parties and retirement celebrations, we can cook mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
For a party in Great Burgh, home is frequently the best venue. Let us know how the van reaches the house, and we’ll bring everything else. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Let your neighbours know
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Check the street’s parking rules
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in.

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Midsummer parties in Great Burgh stay bright until about 9:20pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Share the timings for the day
Getting a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
