We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.

Party fish and chip van in Stockbridge, cooked to order
A chip van works for birthdays, garden parties and family celebrations. Everyone from toddlers to grandparents knows what they’re getting. Typical bookings include reunions and family get-togethers and garden get-togethers, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
In a small place like Stockbridge, 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 keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Ordering in for a crowd means long waits. A van fries on the spot. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Why book with us
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- All the chip-shop extras
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Classic food your guests already know
How it works
Changes on the day are fine: we’ll adjust start times and pace. Sunset in Stockbridge is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check access for the van and send a quote.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.
Occasions we serve in Stockbridge
People book a chip van for parties because nobody has to cook. It’s also a bit of fun.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Get-togethers with old friends
