Party fish and chip van in Iping, fried fresh
The van can park on a drive, a hardstanding or a firm lawn, with the hatch facing your guests. Whether it’s christenings and naming days and kids’ birthday parties, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and pie and chips and more.
In a small place like Iping, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll plan the route. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

It is worth telling the neighbours, or invite them.
A few lights around the van look great.
