Party fish and chip van in Stroud, fried fresh
For children, there is sausage and chips, so nobody needs a separate meal. We’re often asked to cater get-togethers with old friends and family celebrations after a christening, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
In a small place like Stroud, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.

Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
Next to a DIY barbecue, a chip van means nobody is stuck at the grill. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.
What you get with us
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- A van that becomes part of the event
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Fried fresh, not kept warm

The process
There is very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your party. We handle the cooking and serving. Autumn and winter parties in Stroud get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- First, tell us about your party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- 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 to prepare
- Share the timings for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
Getting a price
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Access and parking
- The length of service
- Whether a minimum applies
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- The date and time of the event
- The address or venue name
- A photo of the parking spot
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

For event organisers in Stroud
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Send us a picture of the drive
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Let your neighbours know
With children, food about an hour in works well.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
