Party fish and chip van in Hunton, cooked to order
You do not need to hire a hall: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. Popular choices include mushy peas, gravy and pie and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater get-togethers with old friends and retirement celebrations.
Near Hunton, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it’s on the menu.

The process
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. In Hunton, a June party has light until about 9:25pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
Ask for a quote
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.

Questions from Hunton
Is Hunton too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St James?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What do children eat?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Let us know numbers and ages.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before you book.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
