How our party fish and chip van works in Hungerford
There’s no need for a venue: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. For street parties and neighbourhood events and family parties with children, we can cook mushy peas, curry sauce and pie and chips for your guests.
Around Hungerford, a garden and a drive is all you need. The van fits right in. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Arrange an alternative if needed
With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.
