Party fish and chip van in Haylands
Haylands: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St. Michael and All Angels: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do you need power or water from us?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Mention power and water and we’ll confirm the rest.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Sausage and chips covers the children and anyone who does not want fish, so nobody needs a separate meal. Whether it’s family reunions and retirement celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of gravy, curry sauce and sausage and chips.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Where the van can park in Haylands
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A spot near your guests
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Haylands is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How it works
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your party. Midsummer parties in Haylands stay bright until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:10pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.
- Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get an access check and a clear price.
- We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Send us a picture of the drive
- Confirm allergies by email
With children, food about an hour in works well.
A few lights around the van look great.
