About our party fish and chip van in High Cross
The van can park on a drive, a hardstanding or a firm lawn, with the hatch facing your guests. We serve sausage and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce, and we’re frequently booked for neighbourhood get-togethers and children’s parties.
In a small place like High Cross, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Step by step

Midsummer parties in High Cross stay bright until about 9:15pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you’re eating late.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the 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.
Before we arrive

Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
What we serve
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Chips
- Sausage and chips
- Gravy
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Make sure the van can park legally
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Send us a photo of the drive
We park on the agreed spot and set up, and serve as the party carries on.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
