Party fish and chip van for Rogate events
Party fish and chip van in Rogate, cooked to order
You don’t need to hire a hall: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. On the menu are curry sauce, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for neighbourhood get-togethers and christenings and naming days.
Country parties near Rogate suit a chip van: fried fresh and eaten outside. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
A chip van compared with other options
A buffet is easy but forgettable. A chip van gives guests something to talk about. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What happens on the day
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. In Rogate, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you’re eating late.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- 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
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.

Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A spot near your guests
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Rogate
Is Rogate too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Rogate close to London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How early do summer dates go?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
Can the van come to our street party?

Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
