How our party fish and chip van works in Knights Enham
Everything is cooked as people come up, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. We serve cod and chips, gravy and curry sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater children’s parties and leaving parties.
Country parties near Knights Enham suit a chip van: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Why choose party fish and chip van in Knights Enham?

We’re booked for all kinds of occasions in Knights Enham and nearby. Some of the most common are:
- Summer garden parties
- Reunions and family get-togethers

Common questions in Knights Enham
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Knights Enham too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Is there a kids’ option?
Sausage and chips, usually. Let us know numbers and ages.
Can the van come to Knights Enham?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Knights Enham is within our area and the rest of Hampshire. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
