Party fish and chip van in Lambs Green, fried fresh
The queue at the hatch gets people mixing, which is what a party is all about. Typical bookings include kids’ birthday parties and engagement parties, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
In a small place like Lambs Green, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

When everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Numbers
- The day of the week
- How easy the site is to reach
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of the parking spot
- Expected numbers
Send us the date, the address or RH12 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we’ll reply with a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van gives people a choice. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
