Party fish and chip van in Mogador, fried fresh
It feels like a treat, but stays relaxed: paper portions of fish and chips in the garden. We are frequently asked to cater naming days and christenings and summer garden parties, with sausage and chips, mushy peas and gravy.
Country parties near Mogador suit a chip van: fried fresh and eaten outside. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Mogador?
A buffet is easy but forgettable. The van becomes part of the party. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Why Mogador hosts choose us
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- A quote that spells everything out

How the day works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your party. Sunset in Mogador is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Ensure the van can get in
- Share the timings for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

Questions from Mogador
Is Mogador too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Surrey included. See all areas.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
Where the van can park in Mogador
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A short walk from the party
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
