Party fish and chip van in Hoath
Party fish and chip van in Hoath, cooked to order
For children, there’s sausage and chips, so one van feeds the whole party. On the menu are curry sauce, haddock and chips and gravy, and we’re often booked for children’s parties and anniversary celebrations.
Near Hoath, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Send us a picture of the drive
With children, food about an hour in works well.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.

What else we do in Hoath
Common questions in Hoath
Can you serve near the sea around Hoath?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Is Hoath close to London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Do you cover Hoath?
Yes, we do. Hoath is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
The process
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. Autumn and winter parties in Hoath get dark early: about 7:00pm in late September and 3:50pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
