Party fish and chip van in Hampton Poyle
How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. Autumn and winter parties in Hampton Poyle get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- 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 serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
How to prepare
- Clear the route for the van

What affects the price in Hampton Poyle
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- How easy the site is to reach
- Service time
- Travel, tolls and road charges
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of where the van would go
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Confirm allergies by email
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Let your neighbours know
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Plan cover in case of showers.

Questions from Hampton Poyle
Is Hampton Poyle too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Is grass a problem?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can the van come to Hampton Poyle?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Hampton Poyle is within our area. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
