Party fish and chip van in Northmoor, fried fresh
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. For kids’ birthday parties and milestone birthdays, we can cook gravy, cod and chips and mushy peas.
In a small place like Northmoor, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Questions from Northmoor
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Denys?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Northmoor too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you park at our house?
That depends on the space and the route in. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll tell you honestly.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Can the van come to Northmoor?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Northmoor is within our area. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

Step by step
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your party. Sunset in Northmoor is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Numbers
- Distance and any road charges
- Parking and the way in
- How long we serve
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your party is.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Expected numbers
- A photo of the parking spot
- Where the event is
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
