Party fish and chip van for your party in Stratfield Saye

How it works

Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. Autumn and winter parties in Stratfield Saye get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Getting ready for the day

  • Plan where the queue will stand
  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
  • Confirm the van is allowed on site

Getting a price

It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Looking after everyone

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

  • Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
  • Have a back-up for special diets
  • Show us where the van would go
  • Make sure the van can park legally

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

Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

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.
