Party fish and chip van in Hangersley, cooked to order
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. We are often asked to cater garden parties and summer get-togethers and street parties, serving gravy, curry sauce and pie and chips.
Country parties near Hangersley suit a chip van: fried fresh and eaten outside. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. Everything is fried fresh at your party, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The length of service
- Parking and the way in
- Distance and any road charges
- Any minimum charge
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
What to tell us
