Party fish and chip van for your party in Selham
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 get-togethers and street parties and neighbourhood events, with sausage and chips, gravy and curry sauce.
In a small place like Selham, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

How the day works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your party. At midsummer, it is light in Selham until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- The day of the week
- How long we serve
- Distance and any road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Your date and serving time
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
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 solves that by cooking on site.
Why choose party fish and chip van in Selham?
It works at home: a drive or a firm spot near the garden will do.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Common bookings include:
- Big birthdays
- Reunions and family get-togethers
- Engagement parties
- Children’s parties
A christening at Church of St James followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan.
