A chip van near Little London
Party fish and chip van in Little London, fried fresh
A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. Typical bookings include reunions and family get-togethers and retirement celebrations, with mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
Country parties near Little London suit a chip van: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. Timings are planned around your party, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

- The day of the week

What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the event is
- Allergies and diets you know about

The process
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your party. The frying and serving are down to us. Autumn and winter parties in Little London get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- 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.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know the serving time

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. The van cooks right there. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Why book our van in Little London
- Nothing for you to cook or clear

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Put allergy details in writing
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Have a back-up for special diets
With children, food about an hour in works well.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.
