Party fish and chip van in Stadhampton, cooked to order
A chip van works for birthdays, garden parties and family celebrations. It’s food every generation enjoys. We are frequently asked to cater family celebrations after a christening and summer garden parties, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Country parties near Stadhampton suit a chip van: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

How the day works
The first sign we have arrived is normally the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. A summer party in Stadhampton stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check where the van can park and send a price.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A venue plus caterer can be expensive. A van on the drive keeps it simple. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
