Fresh fish and chips in Ifold

How the day works

Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. In Ifold, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.

  1. Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

Getting ready for the day

  • Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
  • Plan where the queue will stand
  • Confirm the van is allowed on site

How to get a price

Party fish and chip van for your party in Ifold

A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. The van parks, the fryers go on and the food goes out hot. For milestone birthdays and naming days and christenings, we can cook sausage and chips, pie and chips and curry sauce and more.

A country party near Ifold is perfect for fish and chips: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party

Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:

  • The date and time of year
  • How many people are eating
  • Service time
  • Whether a minimum applies

Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

Details that help

When you contact us, it helps to tell us:

  • Dietary needs, with numbers
  • Anything awkward about the way in
  • Rough numbers for adults and children

We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • A short walk from the party
  • Access wide and high enough for the van
  • Permission from the venue or landowner for the van

Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
