Party fish and chip van in Hatford
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Hatford
Can you serve after a service at Holy Trinity Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Hatford too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van park on my drive?
Normally, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send us a photo and tell us about gates and branches.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Mention the van in your application.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.
Why us?

Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips

Planning help
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The length of service
- How far we travel
- Numbers
- The minimum booking
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The venue or postcode
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A photo of the parking spot
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
Put bins and napkins near the hatch.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A spot near your guests
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
