How our party fish and chip van works in Middle Barton
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. Popular choices include mushy peas, haddock and chips and curry sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater summer garden parties and milestone birthdays.
Country parties near Middle Barton suit a chip van: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

The process
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. At midsummer, it’s light in Middle Barton until about 9:30pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Clear the route for the van
