A chip van compared with other options
Next to a DIY barbecue, a chip van means nobody is stuck at the grill. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.

How our party fish and chip van works in Hillesden
Birthdays, garden parties, anniversaries and christenings all suit a fish and chip van. It is food every generation enjoys. Whether it’s family reunions and children’s parties, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce and more.
In a small place like Hillesden, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Midsummer parties in Hillesden stay bright until about 9:25pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get an access check and a clear price.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
- Afterwards, we clear up and leave you to it.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Give us a contact for the day

Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The day of the week
- Any minimum charge
- Access and parking
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and time of the event
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Dietary needs, with numbers
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Put allergy details in writing
- Show us where the van would go
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
Keep the queue away from the road if the van is on the drive.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Questions from Hillesden
We are gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far is Hillesden from London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Do you cover Hillesden?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Hillesden and the rest of Buckinghamshire. To check your date, use our quote form.
Will the van fit on our drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll tell you honestly.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Buckinghamshire. See all areas.
Do you take everything away?
