The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. At midsummer, it is light in Hollington until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- You get an access check and a clear price.
- We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
- Afterwards, we clear up and leave you to it.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Name one person we can call on the day
Getting a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.

How our party fish and chip van works in Hollington
The van can park on a drive, a hardstanding or a firm lawn, with the serving hatch towards the garden. Whether it is milestone birthdays and family parties with children, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
In a small place like Hollington, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
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.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
