Party fish and chip van for Northington events
About our party fish and chip van in Northington
You don’t need to hire a hall: the van makes your home the party venue. For retirement parties and get-togethers with old friends, we can cook haddock and chips, pie and chips and gravy for your guests.
Near Northington, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will plan the route. Everything is fried fresh at your party, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. At midsummer, it’s light in Northington until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.

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. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.

Take a look at our pricing or the cost guide.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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 you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Northington: your questions answered
Is Northington close to London?
About 54 miles from central London.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St John the Evangelist?
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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.
