Party fish and chip van in Netherfield

About our party fish and chip van in Netherfield

The queue at the hatch gets people mixing, which is what a party is all about. For engagement parties and family celebrations after a christening, we can cook curry sauce, cod and chips and pie and chips and more.

Country parties near Netherfield suit a chip van: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

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.

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

Food your guests will love

Sausage and chips

Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.

Pie and chips

Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.

Prices and what affects them

Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • How easy the site is to reach
  • How long we serve
  • The minimum booking

Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

What to tell us

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:

  • Roughly how many people, including children
  • A picture of where the van would go
  • The address or venue name
  • Any dietary needs and allergies

Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will check availability right away.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Next to a DIY barbecue, the host is not stuck cooking all afternoon. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

Why us?

  • Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
  • A quote that spells everything out
  • Everything cooked to order at your event
  • Something for guests to gather round

See our prices page and our guide to van hire costs.

Allergies and dietary needs

Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

  • A photo of the parking spot helps
  • Flag any coeliac guests
  • Put allergy details in writing
  • Let your neighbours know

Have bins and napkins by the van.

Put the menu up by the van.

Organising for someone else?

For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

Netherfield questions

Is Netherfield close to London?

About 45 miles from central London.

Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.

How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Netherfield?

The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your party and we’ll send a quote.

How long are you on site?

That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

How far ahead should we book?

As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

Is there a non-fish option?

Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.

How much space do you need?

Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.

Step by step

We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your party in Netherfield. At midsummer, it is light in Netherfield until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.

  1. You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
  2. You get an access check and a clear price.
  3. We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
  4. Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
  5. We pack up when we’re done and leave the pitch tidy.

Getting ready for the day

  • Share the timings for the day
  • Have a level parking spot ready
  • Ensure the van can get in

Planning help

What the van needs

Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:

  • A route in without tight gates or low branches
  • Room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • A short walk from the party

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
