Party fish and chip van in North Waltham, fried fresh
There is no need for a venue: the van makes your home the party venue. For retirement celebrations and naming days and christenings, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
In a small place like North Waltham, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
What affects the price in North Waltham
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The length of service
- Whether a minimum applies
- Parking and the way in
- How far we travel
Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Where the event is

Questions from North Waltham
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St. Michael's: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is North Waltham from London?
About 51 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
Is there a kids’ option?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include them in your numbers.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. In North Waltham, a June party has light until about 9:25pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:10pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.

Planning help
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A buffet is easy but forgettable. A chip van gives guests something to talk about. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
What you get with us
- All the chip-shop extras
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers

What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A spot near your guests
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Chips
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
- Gravy
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Let your neighbours know
Keep the queue away from the road if the van is on the drive.
Plan cover in case of showers.
For event organisers in North Waltham
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
