About our party fish and chip van in Kintbury
We park on the drive or a firm spot near the party, with the serving hatch towards the garden. On the menu are gravy, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for get-togethers with old friends and garden get-togethers.
In a small place like Kintbury, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. Timings are planned around your party, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Planning the van’s spot

- A short walk from the party
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your party. We handle the cooking and serving. At midsummer, it’s light in Kintbury until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- First, tell us 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.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
