Party fish and chip van in Sutton at Hone, cooked to order
There’s no need for a venue: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. We’re often asked to cater reunions and family get-togethers and street parties and neighbourhood events, with pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
A country party near Sutton at Hone is perfect for fish and chips: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Any minimum charge
- Distance and any road charges
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and time of the event
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where you’d like the van to go
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Send us a picture of the drive
With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
