About our party fish and chip van in New Pound
We park on the drive or a firm spot near the party, with the serving hatch towards the garden. Whether it is garden get-togethers and family reunions, we can cook haddock and chips, cod and chips and gravy and more.
In a small place like New Pound, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. The van cooks right there. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.

- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Common questions in New Pound
How far is New Pound from London?
About 25 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is New Pound too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.
Can the van park on my drive?
Frequently, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send a photo of the drive and the way in.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in New Pound?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
