Party fish and chip van in Strettington, 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’s get-togethers with old friends and christenings and naming days, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, gravy and cod and chips and more.
In a small place like Strettington, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Autumn and winter parties in Strettington get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

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:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Distance and any road charges
- The number of meals
- The minimum booking
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
- Anything awkward about the way in
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Ensure the van can park legally
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
Let the neighbours know the van is coming.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.
Strettington questions
Is Strettington close to London?
About 52 miles from central London.
Can you serve after a service at St Andrew's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Will the van fit on our drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Mention anything tight, and we’ll advise.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
