About our party fish and chip van in Somerton
A chip van also works for street parties, once the council has agreed the road closure. For garden parties and summer get-togethers and children’s parties, we can cook cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
Country parties near Somerton suit a chip van: fried fresh and eaten outside. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

How the day works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your party. We handle the cooking and serving. At midsummer, it is light in Somerton until about 9:30pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Tell us what you are 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.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
