A chip van also works for street parties, once the council has agreed the road closure. Popular choices include haddock and chips, curry sauce and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater summer garden parties and street parties.
Near Statenborough, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Everything is fried fresh at your party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

- Send us a picture of the drive

Why choose party fish and chip van in Statenborough?
Fresh food beats a tired buffet.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Common bookings include:
- Naming days and christenings
- Big birthdays
- Leaving parties
- Summer garden parties
A green space like Ham Fen is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun
- What they can offer for dietary needs
- Payment terms and deposit
- Whether VAT is included

Common questions in Statenborough
Do you come out to small places like Statenborough?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Could you trade in Ham Fen?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can the van come to Statenborough?
We do. Statenborough is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van gives people a choice. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
