Party fish and chip van for your party in Nonington
A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. We’re frequently asked to cater retirement parties and naming days and christenings, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
A country party near Nonington is perfect for fish and chips: fried fresh and eaten outside. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- A photo of the parking spot helps
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in, before the cake.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
Working with your venue
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.

Common questions in Nonington
Do you come out to small places like Nonington?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Nonington close to London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
