How our party fish and chip van works in Oxted
Sausage and chips covers the children and anyone who does not want fish, so one van feeds the whole party. On the menu are mushy peas, gravy and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for family celebrations after a christening and retirement parties.
Parties around Oxted are often relaxed garden affairs. A chip van fits right in. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Let your neighbours know
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Give us separate numbers for children
Let the neighbours know the van is coming.
Put the menu up by the van.
Step by step
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. In Oxted, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Let us know the serving time
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
