Party fish and chip van for your party in Northney
There’s no need for a venue: the van makes your home the party venue. Typical bookings include garden parties and summer get-togethers and christenings and naming days, serving sausage and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips.
A country party near Northney is perfect for fish and chips: fried fresh and eaten outside. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
Northney: your questions answered
Can you serve near the sea around Northney?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Is Northney too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Northney.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How early do summer dates go?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
What do you need at the house?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Mention power and water and we’ll confirm the rest.
About the food
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
The process
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. For a late-May party in Northney, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. After dark, light the area around the van.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, then serve as guests come up.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A spot near your guests
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
