About our party fish and chip van in Lower Stoke
Food is fried to order, so it’s hot and crisp, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. For big birthdays and street parties, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce and more.
In a small place like Lower Stoke, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Everything is fried fresh at your party, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.
Put the menu up by the van.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Lower Stoke?
Next to a DIY barbecue, a chip van means nobody is stuck at the grill. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why us?
- A clear quote before booking
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- A menu almost everyone likes

For planners, venues and organisers

For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
These are the factors that matter most:
- Distance and any road charges
- Numbers
- Cod, haddock or both
- How long we serve
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your party.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- The address or venue name
- Allergies and diets you know about

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Lower Stoke
Do you come out to small places like Lower Stoke?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can the van come to our street party?
Often, yes. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
