Party fish and chip van in Idbury, cooked to order
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a chip van too, once the council has agreed the road closure. For garden get-togethers and anniversaries and engagement parties, we can cook cod and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
In a small place like Idbury, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Put allergy details in writing
- A photo of the parking spot helps
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
A few lights around the van look great.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
