Party fish and chip van in Hedgerley, fried fresh
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a chip van too, with the right permissions in place. Typical bookings include summer garden parties and big birthdays, serving mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
Near Hedgerley, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll plan the route. Everything is fried fresh at your party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
How it works
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Sunset in Hedgerley drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Share the timings for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Planning help
Planners, venues and businesses
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.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The menu and how many choices
- The date and time of year
- Distance and any road charges
- How many people are eating
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A picture of where the van would go
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
DIY versus a fish and chip 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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
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.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Make sure the van can park legally
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Let your neighbours know
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Put bins and napkins near the hatch.

Common questions in Hedgerley
Can the van park in Bulstrode Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.

Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.

The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
