About our party fish and chip van in Kimbridge
The van can park on a drive, a hardstanding or a firm lawn, with the hatch facing your guests. For get-togethers with old friends and neighbourhood get-togethers, we can cook cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips and more.
Near Kimbridge, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A buffet is easy but forgettable. A chip van gives guests something to talk about. Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why book with us
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
Kimbridge questions
Is Kimbridge too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Andrew: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Kimbridge.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Will the van fit on our drive?
That depends on the space and the route in. Mention anything tight, and we’ll tell you honestly.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
Can you do something for the children?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Tell us how many children to expect.
