Party fish and chip van for Swerford events
Working with your venue
Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
How our party fish and chip van works in Swerford
Guests who don’t know each other end up chatting in the queue, which is what a party is all about. We are often asked to cater birthday parties and neighbourhood get-togethers, serving pie and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips.
Near Swerford, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll plan the route. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
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.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
