Party fish and chip van in Popeswood, fried fresh
For children, there’s sausage and chips, so nobody needs a separate meal. For garden get-togethers and neighbourhood get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, pie and chips and haddock and chips and more.
In a place like Popeswood, a party at home is usually the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the lane, and we’ll bring everything else. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

How the day works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. At midsummer, it is light in Popeswood until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Let us know the serving time

Can you park at our house?

How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance and any road charges
- Service time
- Any minimum charge
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
