Party fish and chip van in Heath End
How our party fish and chip van works in Heath End
Food is fried to order, so it’s hot and crisp, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. Popular choices include curry sauce, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for family celebrations after a christening and reunions and family get-togethers.
In a small place like Heath End, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.

Heath End questions
Is Heath End too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Heath End from London?
About 47 miles from central London.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
What do children eat?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. A summer party in Heath End stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
