Party fish and chip van for your party in Perham Down
A chip van also works for street parties, once the council has agreed the road closure. Whether it’s family parties with children and christenings and naming days, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, sausage and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
Near Perham Down, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Everything is fried fresh at your party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A venue plus caterer can be expensive. With a van, home becomes the venue. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
Why Perham Down hosts choose us
- Classic food your guests already know
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Hot food handed straight over

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Perham Down
How far is Perham Down from London?
Roughly 69 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Perham Down?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Do you need power or water from us?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Tell us what’s available and we’ll take it from there.
How early do summer dates go?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can the van park on my drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Mention anything tight, and we will advise.
Do you do street parties?
Frequently, yes. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 solves that by cooking on site.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Make sure the van can park legally
It is worth telling the neighbours.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
What affects the price in Perham Down
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

- Access and parking

- Where the event is
- Rough numbers for adults and children
