Party fish and chip van in Sullington
Party fish and chip van in Sullington, fried fresh
Birthdays, garden parties, anniversaries and christenings all suit a fish and chip van. Everyone from toddlers to grandparents knows what they’re getting. Whether it is summer garden parties and family parties with children, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.
In a small place like Sullington, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Send us a picture of the drive
- Give us separate numbers for children
With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
Finish with the birthday cake.

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Mushy peas
- Chips
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.

Step by step
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. A summer party in Sullington stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
