Party fish and chip van in Shenley Church End, cooked to order

With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. For summer garden parties and family parties with children, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas and more.

For a party in Shenley Church End, home is often the best venue. Let us know how the van reaches the house, and we’ll bring everything else. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Buffets are simple but rarely memorable. The van becomes part of the party. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.

Shenley Church End questions

Is Shenley Church End close to London?

About 47 miles from central London, and well within our area.

Can the van park in South Loughton Valley park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

Can you park on the road outside?

It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.

How do you handle allergies?

Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.

What does it cost to hire the van?

Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.

How long does set-up take?

That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

How much space do you need?

Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.

What do you bring?

We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

About the food

Mushy peas

No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.

Curry sauce

Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.

Looking after everyone

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:

  • Count children separately
  • Flag any coeliac guests
  • Check the street’s parking rules
  • Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet

For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in, before the cake.

Put the menu up by the van.

Why choose party fish and chip van in Shenley Church End?

Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

What happens on the day

Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. At midsummer, it’s light in Shenley Church End until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

  1. Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Preparing for the day

  • Give us your final numbers and allergies
  • Name one person we can call on the day
  • Ensure the van can get in
