About our party fish and chip van in Hinxhill Park
It is a treat that feels special without being formal: paper portions of fish and chips in the garden. Typical bookings include get-togethers with old friends and anniversaries and engagement parties, serving sausage and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
In a small place like Hinxhill Park, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Sunset in Hinxhill Park drops to about 7:00pm by late September and 3:50pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the van can get in
- Let us know the serving time

How far is Hinxhill Park from London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.

It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van

Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Count children separately
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
When everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
