Party fish and chip van in Little Barrington, cooked to order
A chip van works for birthdays, garden parties and family celebrations. It’s food every generation enjoys. On the menu are sausage and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater naming days and christenings and family reunions.
In a small place like Little Barrington, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

What happens on the day
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Autumn and winter parties in Little Barrington get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- Contact us 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.
Getting ready for the day

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Questions from Little Barrington
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Little Barrington?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
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. Send us any allergies in writing.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Hiring a hall and a caterer adds up. With a van, home becomes the venue. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
