Party fish and chip van in Overton, cooked to order
The queue at the hatch gets people mixing, which is what a party is all about. Whether it is family celebrations after a christening and retirement parties, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips and more.
In a place like Overton, a party at home is typically the easiest option. Let us know how the van reaches the house, and we will do the rest. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

What else we do in Overton
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
Keep the queue away from the road.
A few lights around the van look great.

- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

FAQs for Overton
How far is Overton from London?
About 53 miles from central London.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: 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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How the day works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your party. In Overton, a June party has light until about 9:25pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:10pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
