About our party fish and chip van in Thrupp
A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. The van parks, the fryers go on and the food goes out hot. We are frequently asked to cater street parties and naming days and christenings, with pie and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
A country party near Thrupp is perfect for fish and chips: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. Timings are planned around your party, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.

We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.

Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.

Is there something for children?

How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Autumn and winter parties in Thrupp get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
