Party fish and chip van for your party in Sutton
You do not need to hire a hall: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. We’re frequently asked to cater retirement parties and family celebrations after a christening, with curry sauce, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
A country party near Sutton is perfect for fish and chips: fried fresh and eaten outside. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Confirm allergies by email
- Tell us how many children are coming
Let the neighbours know the van is coming, or invite them.
Finish with the birthday cake.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Sutton
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you serve near the sea around Sutton?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you cover Sutton?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Sutton is within our area. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
Can the van park on my drive?
Often, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send us a picture and tell us about gates and branches.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. In Sutton, a June party has light until about 9:15pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:00pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.
- Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get an access check and a clear price.
- We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
- Afterwards, we clear up and leave you to it.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
