About our party fish and chip van in Red Hill
A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. Typical bookings include garden parties and summer get-togethers and birthday parties, with pie and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
In a small place like Red Hill, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
