About our party fish and chip van in Murcott
There’s no need for a venue: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. We serve gravy, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater retirement celebrations and kids’ birthday parties.
Near Murcott, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. Everything is fried fresh at your party, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

The process
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Sunset in Murcott is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- Tell us what you are 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.
- 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
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
Getting a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will check availability straight away.
Planning help
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Common questions in Murcott
Is Murcott close to London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London.
We are gathering after a service at Murcott Mission Room: 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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you take everything away?
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 long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.

Gravy

Planning the van’s spot
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. What matters most:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- How easy the site is to reach
- How many people are eating
- Cod, haddock or both
- The length of service
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Rough numbers for adults and children
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
