Party fish and chip van in North Aston, cooked to order

There is no need for a venue: the van makes your home the party venue. We are frequently asked to cater family reunions and leaving parties, serving cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips.

Country parties near North Aston suit a chip van: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

A closer look at the menu

Sausage and chips

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.

Haddock and chips

Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

How it works

Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Autumn and winter parties in North Aston get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.

  1. You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We check where the van can park and send a price.
  3. We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
  4. We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
  5. We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.

Getting ready for the day

  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
  • Confirm the van is allowed on site

Diets, allergies and planning

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:

  • Flag any coeliac guests
  • Ensure the van can park legally
  • Show us where the van would go
  • Have a back-up for special diets

We park on the agreed spot and set up, and serve as the party carries on.

A few lights around the van look great.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Next to a DIY barbecue, the host is not stuck cooking all afternoon. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

Why North Aston hosts choose us

  • A quote that spells everything out

North Aston questions

Do you come out to small places like North Aston?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?

Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.

How long are you on site?

It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.

What food do you serve?

Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.

How quickly can you serve everyone?

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.

Is everything cooked fresh?

Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.

How far ahead should we book a party?

Summer weekends go first. Ask about your date.

Does the batter contain gluten?

Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
