Party fish and chip van in Knapp, fried fresh
A chip van works for birthdays, garden parties and family celebrations. Everyone from toddlers to grandparents knows what they’re getting. Popular choices include cod and chips, pie and chips and curry sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater anniversary celebrations and retirement celebrations.
Country parties near Knapp suit a chip van: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
How the day works
You don’t need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your party. The frying and serving are down to us. A summer party in Knapp stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- 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.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van gives people a choice. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

For event organisers in Knapp
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Distance and any road charges
- The date and time of year
- The menu and how many choices
- Parking and the way in
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

These details help us quote quickly:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children

Common questions in Knapp
How far is Knapp from London?
Roughly 67 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Knapp?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to Knapp?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Knapp is within our area and the rest of Hampshire. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before booking.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
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.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
