How our party fish and chip van works in Mapledurwell
Birthdays, garden parties, anniversaries and christenings all suit a fish and chip van. It is food every generation enjoys. We serve pie and chips, cod and chips and gravy, and we’re frequently booked for garden get-togethers and anniversaries and engagement parties.
A country party near Mapledurwell is perfect for fish and chips: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Common questions in Mapledurwell
Is Mapledurwell too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Mapledurwell close to London?
About 43 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Mapledurwell?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your party and we’ll send a quote.
Can you park at our house?
That depends on the space and the route in. Mention anything tight, and we will tell you honestly.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The menu and how many choices
- Service time
- The day of the week
- How far we travel
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Details that help

- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The address or venue name
- The spot you have in mind for the van

How it works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. A summer party in Mapledurwell stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
