Party fish and chip van for your party in Offington
It feels like a treat, but stays relaxed: fish and chips from the van, eaten in the garden. For summer garden parties and street parties and neighbourhood events, we can cook mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips.
A country party near Offington is perfect for fish and chips: fried fresh and eaten outside. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

The process
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. In Offington, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Offington: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at St Andrew's Church: 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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Could you trade in Durrington Minature Railway?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your party and we will send a quote.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before you book.
Can the van park on my drive?
That depends on the space and the route in. Mention anything tight, and we will advise.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer weekends go first. Ask about your date.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
