How our party fish and chip van works in Langrish
A chip van works for birthdays, garden parties and family celebrations. Everyone from toddlers to grandparents knows what they’re getting. For summer garden parties and street parties and neighbourhood events, we can cook haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas and more.
Near Langrish, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. A summer party in Langrish stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- We check where the van can park and send a price.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
- We pack up when we are done and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Share the timings for the day
