Party fish and chip van in Stanhope
Step by step
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Midsummer parties in Stanhope stay bright until about 9:15pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:00pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Make sure the van can get in
- Share the timings for the day

Party fish and chip van for your party in Stanhope
With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. Typical bookings include leaving parties and christenings and naming days, serving curry sauce, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
Around Stanhope, a garden and a drive is all you need. The van fits right in. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A short walk from the party
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Stanhope?
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us

About the food
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Any minimum charge
- Access and parking
- Numbers
- Travel, tolls and road charges
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Where the van would park
- The address or venue name
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Anything awkward about the way in
Send us the date, the address or TN23 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. To get started, fill in our quote form.
Party venues around Stanhope
