Party fish and chip van in Tourner Bury, cooked to order
The queue at the hatch gets people mixing, which is what a party is all about. We’re often asked to cater summer garden parties and leaving parties, serving curry sauce, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
Near Tourner Bury, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Your choice of menu
- Access and parking
- The number of meals
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Tourner Bury questions
Is Tourner Bury too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve near the sea around Tourner Bury?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
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.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
What do you need at the house?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Mention power and water and we will confirm the rest.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.

Nearby historic houses include Warblington Castle (3.5 miles north). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules. A christening at St Mary's Church followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan. The coast is within about 2 miles, so a chip van is a natural choice, and we always plan for wind.
We take the van to parties all over the PO11 postcode area.

- Exactly what’s included in the price

Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
