Party fish and chip van for your party in Sarisbury
We park on the drive or a firm spot near the party, with the serving hatch towards the garden. Typical bookings include anniversaries and engagement parties and garden parties and summer get-togethers, with mushy peas, pie and chips and cod and chips.
For a party in Sarisbury, home is often the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the lane, and we’ll bring everything else. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Sarisbury questions
Is Sarisbury close to London?
About 67 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Sarisbury?
Swanwick station, about 0.7 miles east of the centre.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you need power or water from us?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Mention power and water and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Flat, firm ground for the van

How the day works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. In Sarisbury, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:10pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- 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
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan where the queue will stand

Planning help
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
