Party fish and chip van in Pixham, cooked to order
A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. We’re often asked to cater family celebrations after a christening and anniversary celebrations, with sausage and chips, pie and chips and curry sauce.
Near Pixham, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Confirm allergies by email
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Flag any coeliac guests
It is worth telling the neighbours.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
How it works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. For a late-May party in Pixham, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. After dark, light the area around the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Let us know the serving time

Pixham questions
What’s the nearest station to Pixham?
Pixham has its own station: Dorking station.
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
What we serve
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce
- Gravy
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in Pixham? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
