About our party fish and chip van in Nag's Head
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a chip van too, once the council has agreed the road closure. We’re frequently asked to cater naming days and christenings and street parties, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce.
Throwing a party in Nag's Head? A van means no cooking for you, and works on drives, in yards and at hired halls. Tell us about parking permits. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. A summer party in Nag's Head stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Name one person we can call on the day

Planning help
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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’s crisp.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
What the van needs
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Nag's Head is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
