Party fish and chip van in Steeple Claydon, fried fresh
With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. The van parks, the fryers go on and the food goes out hot. Whether it is reunions and family get-togethers and street parties and neighbourhood events, we can cook gravy, haddock and chips and cod and chips and more.
For a party in Steeple Claydon, home is frequently the best venue. Let us know how the van reaches the house, and we’ll bring everything else. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Let your neighbours know
Keep the queue away from the road if the van is on the drive.
Put the menu up by the van.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
What happens on the day
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. In Steeple Claydon, a June party has light until about 9:25pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Questions from Steeple Claydon
Is Steeple Claydon close to London?
About 49 miles from central London, and well within our area.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Michael: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Can the van park on my drive?
Generally, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send a photo of the drive and the way in.
