About our party fish and chip van in Ramsdell
A chip van also works for street parties, once the council has agreed the road closure. We’re frequently asked to cater family reunions and street parties and neighbourhood events, serving pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
A country party near Ramsdell is perfect for fish and chips: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. Everything is fried fresh at your party, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Put allergy details in writing
- Flag any coeliac guests
Keep the queue away from the road if the van is on the drive.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.

Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Access wide and high enough for the van

What affects the price in Ramsdell
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How long we serve
- The minimum booking
- Access and parking
- How many people are eating
Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.

Common questions in Ramsdell
How far is Ramsdell from London?
About 47 miles from central London.
Can you serve after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Ramsdell?
Hiring a hall and a caterer adds up. With a van, home becomes the venue. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
Why book with us
- Hot food handed straight over
- All the chip-shop extras
- A quote that spells everything out
- No kitchen needed
Take a look at our prices page or the cost guide.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
How the day works
Here’s how the day normally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. Sunset in Ramsdell drops to about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Clear the route for the van
