Party fish and chip van in Havenstreet, cooked to order

In a small place like Havenstreet, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
How the day works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. In Havenstreet, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Clear the route for the van
- Tell us when you want to eat

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Show us where the van would go
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Tell us how many children are coming
With children, food about an hour in works well.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.
What the van needs
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A spot near your guests
For somewhere as remote as Havenstreet, early notice helps us plan the trip.

FAQs for Havenstreet
Is Havenstreet too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve near the sea around Havenstreet?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.
Is there a kids’ option?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Tell us how many children to expect.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
What areas do you cover?

When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
For event organisers in Havenstreet
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
