About the food
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
About our party fish and chip van in Rotherwick
There is no need for a venue: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. Typical bookings include retirement celebrations and naming days and christenings, serving curry sauce, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
Near Rotherwick, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. 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.
Questions from Rotherwick
We are gathering after a service at Rotherwick Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which station is closest to Rotherwick?
The closest is Hook station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What do you need at the house?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Rotherwick?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. Sunset in Rotherwick is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.

Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

It is worth telling the neighbours, or invite them.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The day of the week
- Access and parking
- Cod, haddock or both
- How long we serve
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.

Next to a DIY barbecue, the host is not stuck cooking all afternoon. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
For planners, venues and organisers
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
