How our party fish and chip van works in Sharnal Street
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a chip van too, with the right permissions in place. Typical bookings include family reunions and garden parties and summer get-togethers, with pie and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
A country party near Sharnal Street is perfect for fish and chips: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Let your neighbours know
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Send us a photo of the drive
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, then serve as guests come up.
Finish with the birthday cake.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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 typically simpler.

About 29 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Margaret?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.

The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you do street parties?
Frequently, yes. Start the road closure application early.

The process
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your party. The frying and serving are down to us. At midsummer, it is light in Sharnal Street until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get an access check and a clear price.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- We serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.
- We pack up when we’re done and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Ensure the van can get in
How to get a price
