Party fish and chip van in Hyde Heath, cooked to order
There’s no need for a venue: the van makes your home the party venue. We are frequently asked to cater engagement parties and retirement parties, serving gravy, mushy peas and pie and chips.
Country parties near Hyde Heath suit a chip van: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. Everything is fried fresh at your party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Where the van can park in Hyde Heath
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

- Mushy peas

Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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.
The process
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. For a late-May party in Hyde Heath, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. After dark, light the area around the van.
- First, tell us about your party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
