Party fish and chip van in Plastow Green
How our party fish and chip van works in Plastow Green
It is a treat that feels special without being formal: fish and chips from the van, eaten in the garden. Whether it’s garden parties and summer get-togethers and engagement parties, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
In a small place like Plastow Green, 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. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.

FAQs for Plastow Green
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Paul: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like Plastow Green?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including West Berkshire. See all areas.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Put allergy details in writing
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
It’s worth telling the neighbours.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.

Should I sort the food myself?

For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van gives people a choice. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
