Party fish and chip van in Highmoor Cross, fried fresh
A chip van works for birthdays, garden parties and family celebrations. It’s food every generation enjoys. On the menu are sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater birthday parties and kids’ birthday parties.
In a small place like Highmoor Cross, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

- A picture of the parking spot helps
Have bins and napkins by the van.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Highmoor Cross?
For a relaxed celebration, a chip van is hard to beat. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

- A clear quote before you book
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- No kitchen needed
See how we price and the cost guide.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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.
Step by step
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. A summer party in Highmoor Cross stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Share the timings for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

What comes out of the fryer

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Highmoor Cross
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Highmoor Cross from London?
About 39 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. See all areas.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Will the van fit on our drive?
Generally, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send a picture of the drive and the way in.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, where the council allows it. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What the van needs
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
