Party fish and chip van in Roughway, cooked to order
It feels like a treat, but stays relaxed: fish and chips from the van, eaten in the garden. Typical bookings include family celebrations after a christening and street parties and neighbourhood events, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.
A country party near Roughway is perfect for fish and chips: fried fresh and eaten outside. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before booking.
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.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Step by step
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. Sunset in Roughway is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check where the van can park and send a price.

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Put allergy details in writing
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, then serve as guests come up.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.

Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.

- A spot near your guests
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
