About our party fish and chip van in Lindford
For children, there’s sausage and chips, so nobody needs a separate meal. Whether it is get-togethers with old friends and retirement celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, mushy peas and gravy for your guests.
In a place like Lindford, a party at home is generally the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the lane, and we will bring everything else. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
Hiring a hall and a caterer adds up. With a van, home becomes the venue. Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
