A country party near Pembles Cross is perfect for fish and chips: fried fresh and eaten outside. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
How the day works
You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your party. We handle the cooking and serving. In Pembles Cross, a June party has light until about 9:15pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:00pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you’re eating late.
