Party fish and chip van for your party in Iford
A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. On the menu are gravy, haddock and chips and curry sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater family parties with children and neighbourhood get-togethers.
A country party near Iford is perfect for fish and chips: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Iford: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at St Pancras Church (Kingston near Lewes): can you come?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Iford close to London?
About 45 miles from central London.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Do you cover Iford?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Iford and the rest of East Sussex. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, East Sussex included. See all areas.
What happens on the day
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your party. A summer party in Iford stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Ensure the van can get in

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
A chip van compared with other options
Buffets are simple but rarely memorable. A chip van gives guests something to talk about. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
What you get with us
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- A quote that spells everything out
- Something for guests to gather round
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up

Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A short walk from the party
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
