Party fish and chip van for Slough events
How our party fish and chip van works in Slough
Everything is cooked as people come up, not left out on a table for hours. For garden parties and summer get-togethers and anniversaries and engagement parties, we can cook haddock and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas for your guests.
In Slough, parties range from back gardens to function rooms and clubs. The van just needs a level spot outside. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
The process
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. For a late-May party in Slough, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:25pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- We start with a few details about your party.

- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
