Party fish and chip van in Shenington, cooked to order

With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. The van parks, the fryers go on and the food goes out hot. Typical bookings include garden get-togethers and retirement celebrations, serving gravy, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.

In a small place like Shenington, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Shenington: your questions answered

Is Shenington too small for a chip van?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

We’re gathering after a service at Church of Holy Trinity: can you come?

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.

Is the food cooked at the event?

It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.

How fast is service?

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.

How early do summer dates go?

Weekends from May to September are busiest, so ask early.

Can the van park on grass?

It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

What do children eat?

Most children go for sausage and chips. Tell us how many children to expect.

Allergies and dietary needs

Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:

Confirm allergies by email
Flag any coeliac guests
Ask guests about allergies when they reply
Mention the van to neighbours

After service, we pack up.

Your own cake makes the perfect finish.

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. Sunset in Shenington drops to about 7:10pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so think about lighting by the van.

Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
We come back with availability and a clear price.
We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
We leave the spot as we found it.

Before we arrive

Confirm the van is allowed on site
Let us know the serving time
Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Birthday party food ideas for a crowd

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party

Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

The number of meals
The length of service
Whether a minimum applies
Distance and any road charges

Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Getting an accurate quote

You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:

Where you’d like the van to go
Your date and serving time
A picture of where the van would go
Access details such as gates and narrow lanes

Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will check availability straight away.

For event organisers in Shenington

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
