Party fish and chip van in Hulverstone, cooked to order
There is no need for a venue: the van makes your home the party venue. We serve curry sauce, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater engagement parties and family parties with children.
Country parties near Hulverstone suit a chip van: fried fresh and eaten outside. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Confirm allergies by email
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, then serve as guests come up.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Hulverstone is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Hulverstone: your questions answered
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Is Hulverstone too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Do you come to Hulverstone?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Hulverstone is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.
Can the van park on my drive?
Usually, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send a picture of the drive and the way in.
Can you do something for the children?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include them in your numbers.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Why choose party fish and chip van in Hulverstone?
It suits all ages, which makes it perfect for family celebrations.

The process
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. For a late-May party in Hulverstone, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
