Why choose a fish and chip van in Minley?
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

Party fish and chip van for your party in Minley
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a chip van too, once the council has agreed the road closure. For garden get-togethers and family parties with children, we can cook sausage and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas.
In a small place like Minley, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Other occasions in Minley
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
Common questions in Minley
Is Minley close to London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London.
Could you trade in Ancells Farm Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
Can you serve children?

What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.

Step by step
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. A summer party in Minley stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

- You get an access check and a clear price.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
