Party fish and chip van in Hanger Hill, cooked to order
You don’t need to hire a hall: the van makes your home the party venue. Typical bookings include naming days and christenings and engagement parties, serving curry sauce, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
Throwing a party in Hanger Hill? A chip van keeps you out of the kitchen, and works on drives, in yards and at hired halls. Tell us about parking permits. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- How far we travel
- Service time
- Cod, haddock or both
- The day of the week
Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The venue or postcode
- A photo of the parking spot
- Anything awkward about the way in
Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. Start when you’re ready: use our quote form.
A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Confirm allergies by email
Have bins and napkins by the van.
Put the menu up by the van.
How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Midsummer parties in Hanger Hill 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.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Make sure the van can get in
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
Getting a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.

Common questions in Hanger Hill
We are gathering after a service at Church of the Ascension: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What about parking in Hanger Hill?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Is there a kids’ option?
Sausage and chips, usually. Let us know numbers and ages.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How early do summer dates go?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so it pays to ask early.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before booking.
