About our party fish and chip van in Latimer
A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. The van parks, the fryers go on and the food goes out hot. Typical bookings include street parties and neighbourhood events and engagement parties, with cod and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
In a small place like Latimer, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Food your guests will love
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Questions from Latimer
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary Magdalene?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Latimer from London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London.
What do children eat?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Let us know numbers and ages.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you park at our house?
Normally, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send a picture of the drive and the way in.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you come to Latimer?
We do. We serve events in Latimer and across Buckinghamshire. Send us your date to check availability.

How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. A summer party in Latimer stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A venue plus caterer can be expensive. A van on the drive keeps it simple. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your party.
