About our party fish and chip van in Mill Lane
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. On the menu are curry sauce, pie and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for birthday parties and naming days and christenings.
Near Mill Lane, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
What happens on the day
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. At midsummer, it’s light in Mill Lane until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
