A chip van near Lee Gate
The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with frying and serving. A summer party in Lee Gate 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.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Party fish and chip van in Lee Gate, cooked to order
Everything is cooked as people come up, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. We are often asked to cater reunions and family get-togethers and christenings and naming days, serving cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
In a small place like Lee Gate, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Planning the van’s spot

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For event organisers in Lee Gate
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
