Fresh fish and chips in Tongwell

Party fish and chip van in Tongwell, cooked to order

For children, there’s sausage and chips, so nobody needs a separate meal. On the menu are sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for family reunions and neighbourhood get-togethers.

In a small place like Tongwell, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Takeaway run or book a van?

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

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.

Planning for dietary needs

Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:

  • Confirm allergies by email
  • Flag any coeliac guests
  • Collect allergies with your RSVPs
  • Send us a photo of the drive

With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.

Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.

Prices and what affects them

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • The menu and how many choices
  • Parking and the way in
  • The day of the week
  • Numbers

The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

What we need to know

To check availability and price, we need:

  • A picture of where the van would go
  • The address or venue name
  • Anything awkward about the way in
  • Your date and serving time

Planning the van’s spot

Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

  • Light near the van and the queue for evening service
  • Access wide and high enough for the van
  • The site’s agreement to a catering van

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Popular choices

  • Gravy
  • Sausage and chips
  • Haddock and chips
  • Pie and chips
  • Mushy peas
  • Chips
  • Cod and chips
  • Curry sauce

How it works

If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. A summer party in Tongwell stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

  1. You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We check access for the van and send a quote.
  3. We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
  4. Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
  5. Afterwards, we clear up and leave you to it.

Preparing for the day

  • Confirm the van is allowed on site
  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Ensure the van can get in

Tongwell: your questions answered

How far is Tongwell from London?

About 48 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

Can the van park in Campbell Park?

Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

What happens if it rains?

The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

Do you cover Tongwell?

Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Tongwell. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.

Can you park at our house?

Frequently, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send a photo of the drive and the way in.

What if we only have street parking?

That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

What do children eat?

Sausage and chips, usually. Let us know numbers and ages.

Do we need to provide anything?

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.

  • 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
