Party fish and chip van for your party in The Mint
The queue at the hatch gets people mixing, which is what a party is all about. For neighbourhood get-togethers and birthday parties, we will put together a menu of gravy, curry sauce and haddock and chips for your guests.
Country parties near The Mint suit a chip van: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- The length of service
- Your choice of menu
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.

Common questions in The Mint
Is The Mint close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is The Mint too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day normally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Sunset in The Mint drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 4:00pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check where the van can park and send a price.
- We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
- We serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.
- Afterwards, we clear up and leave you to it.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
Getting a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
