Party fish and chip van in Milton, fried fresh
Guests who do not know each other end up chatting in the queue, which is what a party is all about. Popular choices include sausage and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater naming days and christenings and garden parties and summer get-togethers.
For a party in Milton, home is often the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the lane, and we will do the rest. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
Let the neighbours know the van is coming, or invite them.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.

Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How far we travel
- Any minimum charge
- How easy the site is to reach
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.

Questions from Milton
Which station is closest to Milton?
The closest is Fratton station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you need power or water from us?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we will confirm what we need.
What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Autumn and winter parties in Milton get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
