Party fish and chip van in Nether Wallop, cooked to order
There’s no need for a venue: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. Typical bookings include retirement celebrations and milestone birthdays, serving gravy, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
A country party near Nether Wallop is perfect for fish and chips: fried fresh and eaten outside. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
What happens on the day
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. A summer party in Nether Wallop stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
