Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Who books party fish and chip van in Sulhamstead?
With a van, the host gets to enjoy the party. It’s also a bit of fun.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Typical bookings include:
- Anniversary celebrations
- Big birthdays
- Neighbourhood get-togethers
- Family parties with children
Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Church of St Peter, with fish and chips at home or in a hall afterwards.
Questions to ask before booking
- When final numbers are due
- How much space the van takes up
- Payment terms and deposit
- How allergens are handled
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Let your neighbours know
- Show us where the van would go
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Arrange an alternative if needed
Have bins and napkins by the van.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A spot near your guests
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service

What happens on the day
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your party. A summer party in Sulhamstead stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
