Party fish and chip van in Quarley, cooked to order
Everything is cooked as people come up, not left out on a table for hours. Typical bookings include summer garden parties and birthday parties, with haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
In a small place like Quarley, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Gravy

Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
Questions from Quarley
Is Quarley too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Quarley close to London?
Roughly 69 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Hampshire. See all areas.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- The number of meals
- How long we serve
- Cod, haddock or both
- How far we travel
Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the van would park
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The address or venue name
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.

Takeaway run or book a 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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.
Why us?

Step by step
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Autumn and winter parties in Quarley get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
