Party fish and chip van in Longcot
About our party fish and chip van in Longcot
Food is fried to order, so it’s hot and crisp, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. For garden get-togethers and anniversaries and engagement parties, we can cook pie and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
In a small place like Longcot, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

What happens on the day
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Midsummer parties in Longcot stay bright until about 9:30pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.

- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Longcot
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Longcot close to London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so ask early.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What do children eat?
Sausage and chips, normally. Tell us how many children to expect.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a relaxed celebration, a chip van is hard to beat in Longcot. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Put allergy details in writing
Keep the queue away from the road if the van is on the drive.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
