Party fish and chip van in Newport Pagnell
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
How our party fish and chip van works in Newport Pagnell
It feels like a treat, but stays relaxed: paper portions of fish and chips in the garden. We serve gravy, curry sauce and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater street parties and children’s parties.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Newport Pagnell
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Bede (Roman Catholic): can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far is Newport Pagnell from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.

What comes out of the fryer

Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
