About our party fish and chip van in Radfield
We park on the drive or a firm spot near the party, with the hatch facing your guests. For big birthdays and garden parties and summer get-togethers, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, pie and chips and curry sauce.
In a small place like Radfield, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
What happens on the day
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Sunset in Radfield drops to about 7:00pm by late September and 3:50pm by December, so think about lighting by the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Make sure the van can get in
