About our party fish and chip van in Peasemore
A chip van also works for street parties, with the right permissions in place. For retirement celebrations and get-togethers with old friends, we’ll put together a menu of gravy, mushy peas and haddock and chips for your guests.
Country parties near Peasemore suit a chip van: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Peasemore
Is Peasemore too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van go to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you do something for the children?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Tell us what’s available and we will take it from there.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.

Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Occasions we serve in Peasemore
There is no kitchen to clear up afterwards.

How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. In Peasemore, a June party has light until about 9:25pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:10pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.
