Party fish and chip van in Loudwater
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
About our party fish and chip van in Loudwater
It feels like a treat, but stays relaxed: fish and chips from the van, eaten in the garden. We are frequently asked to cater children’s parties and retirement parties, with gravy, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
In a place like Loudwater, a party at home is typically the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the lane, and we’ll do the rest. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with cooking a barbecue yourself, the host isn’t stuck cooking all afternoon. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. Sunset in Loudwater drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so think about lighting by the van.

- Show us where the van would go, and we will 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.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
