Party fish and chip van in Shottermill, cooked to order
A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. The van parks, the fryers go on and the food goes out hot. Typical bookings include garden parties and summer get-togethers and naming days and christenings, serving cod and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
For a party in Shottermill, home is frequently the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the lane, and we’ll bring everything else. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A buffet is easy but forgettable. A chip van gives guests something to talk about. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

Other occasions in Shottermill
Cannot 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.
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.

We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
