Party fish and chip van in Totford
Party fish and chip van in Totford, fried fresh
Birthdays, garden parties, anniversaries and christenings all suit a fish and chip van. It’s food every generation enjoys. Typical bookings include retirement parties and street parties, serving mushy peas, pie and chips and gravy.
Country parties near Totford suit a chip van: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Count children separately
- Check the street’s parking rules
We park on the agreed spot and set up, then serve as guests come up.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van gives people a choice. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

- Your date and serving time
- A picture of where the van would go
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy

Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Totford: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Totford?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St John the Evangelist: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
