About our party fish and chip van in Penton Corner
A chip van works for birthdays, garden parties and family celebrations. It is food every generation enjoys. For family reunions and anniversaries and engagement parties, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, sausage and chips and gravy and more.
In a small place like Penton Corner, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll plan the route. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The date and time of year
- Service time
- How many people are eating
- The menu and how many choices
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and time of the event
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Send us a photo of the drive

- Give us separate numbers for children
Keep the queue away from the road if the van is on the drive.
A few lights around the van look great.
