Why choose party fish and chip van in Kingston Bagpuize?
Everyone from toddlers to grandparents enjoys it, so it is ideal for family parties.
Whatever brings people together, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. We are often booked for:
- Family celebrations after a christening
- Anniversaries and engagement parties
- Reunions and family get-togethers
- Neighbourhood get-togethers
After a christening at a church like Church of St John the Baptist, a chip van at home is an easy way to feed family and friends.
Questions to ask before booking
- What they can offer for dietary needs
- The deposit and payment dates
- What happens if the event is cancelled or moved
- The minimum number of meals or minimum spend
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Show us where the van would go
- Have a back-up for special diets
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, then serve as guests come up.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
