Fresh fish and chips in Hawley
How our party fish and chip van works in Hawley
It feels like a treat, but stays relaxed: paper portions of fish and chips in the garden. Whether it’s street parties and family parties with children, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, curry sauce and pie and chips and more.
Country parties near Hawley suit a chip van: fried fresh and eaten outside. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
What the van needs
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. The main points are:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A short walk from the party
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
