Party fish and chip van in South Harewood, cooked to order
Birthdays, garden parties, anniversaries and christenings all suit a fish and chip van. Everyone from toddlers to grandparents knows what they’re getting. For garden parties and summer get-togethers and family parties with children, we will put together a menu of gravy, haddock and chips and curry sauce and more.
In a small place like South Harewood, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will plan the route. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
What we serve
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Chips
- Curry sauce
- Gravy
- Sausage and chips
Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. A summer party in South Harewood stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, 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.
- First, tell us about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Any minimum charge
- The day of the week
- The number of meals
- How long we serve
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and time of the event
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs and allergies
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, use our quote form.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Why us?
- No kitchen needed
- All the chip-shop extras
- Hot food handed straight over
- A clear quote before you book
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
About the food
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
For event organisers in South Harewood
Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
South Harewood questions
Is South Harewood too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to South Harewood?
Andover station, about 4 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How early do summer dates go?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Get in touch with your date.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Mention the van in your application.
