Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Ingrams Green
How far is Ingrams Green from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London.
Is Ingrams Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Can you do something for the children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include them in your numbers.
How early do summer dates go?
Summer weekends go first. Get in touch with your date.
How our party fish and chip van works in Ingrams Green
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. Whether it’s family celebrations after a christening and summer garden parties, we will put together a menu of gravy, haddock and chips and curry sauce and more.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Sunset in Ingrams Green is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Give us a contact for the day

Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
