The menu, dish by dish

Curry sauce

Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.

Cod and chips

Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • Where the van would park

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.

Planning the van’s spot

A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:

  • Space for people to queue at the hatch
  • A route in without tight gates or low branches
  • Confirmation that the van can park there

Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

For event organisers in Plumpton Green

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

How it works

The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. A summer party in Plumpton Green stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

  1. Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Before we arrive

  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Share the timings for the day
  • Clear the route for the van

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Plumpton Green

Do you come out to small places like Plumpton Green?

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Is Plumpton Green close to London?

About 39 miles from central London, and well within our area.

Is grass a problem?

It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.

Can the van park on the street?

It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.

When do you arrive?

We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.

Do you bring everything you need?

We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

How early do summer dates go?

Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.

Can you park at our house?

It depends on the drive and the access. Mention anything tight, and we will advise.
