Party fish and chip van in Milland, cooked to order
You do not need to hire a hall: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. Whether it is summer garden parties and reunions and family get-togethers, we can cook gravy, curry sauce and cod and chips for your guests.
A country party near Milland is perfect for fish and chips: fried fresh and eaten outside. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. Timings are planned around your party, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

A chip van compared with other options
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

What affects the price in Milland
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Your choice of menu
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How long we serve
Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- Where the van would park
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Anything awkward about the way in
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Milland questions
We’re gathering after a service at Tuxlith Chapel: 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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which station is closest to Milland?
The closest is Liphook station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you do something for the children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include them in your numbers.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Step by step
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. At midsummer, it is light in Milland until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Ensure the van can get in
