Party fish and chip van for your party in Owslebury Bottom
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a chip van too, once the council has agreed the road closure. For big birthdays and engagement parties, we can cook haddock and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips and more.
In a small place like Owslebury Bottom, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Timings are planned around your party, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A buffet is easy but forgettable. A chip van gives guests something to talk about. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Owslebury Bottom: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Andrew?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like Owslebury Bottom?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
