Party fish and chip van in Langley Vale, cooked to order
Food is fried to order, so it is hot and crisp, not left out on a table for hours. We are frequently asked to cater anniversaries and engagement parties and children’s parties, serving sausage and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips.
In a small place like Langley Vale, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
About the food
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Langley Vale questions
We are gathering after a service at St Stephen On The Downs: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can the van park in Ashtead Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
Can you come to a street party?
Often, yes. Start the road closure application early.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
How early do summer dates go?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so ask early.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell us how many children are coming
- A photo of the parking spot helps
Let the neighbours know the van is coming, or invite them.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.
How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. At midsummer, it’s light in Langley Vale until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- 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
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
Get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
