Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. The van cooks right there. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
Why us?
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Events in Letcombe Regis and across Oxfordshire
- Everything cooked to order at your event
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Count children separately
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, then serve as guests come up.
Finish with the birthday cake.
What happens on the day
You will know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. In Letcombe Regis, a June party has light until about 9:25pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:10pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Make sure the van can get in
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Letcombe Regis questions
Could you trade in Betjeman Millennium Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
Do you come to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.

We cover London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. Find your area.
Can the van come to Letcombe Regis?

How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
