Party fish and chip van in Townhill Park, fried fresh

With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. Whether it’s anniversaries and engagement parties and garden parties and summer get-togethers, we can cook haddock and chips, gravy and curry sauce and more.

In a place like Townhill Park, a party at home is typically the easiest option. Let us know how the van reaches the house, and we’ll do the rest. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

Step by step

There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your party. The frying and serving are down to us. Midsummer parties in Townhill Park stay bright until about 9:25pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:10pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you’re eating late.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Before we arrive

  • Have a level parking spot ready
  • Ensure the van can get in
  • Get permission for the van from the venue

  • The spot you have in mind for the van
  • The date and when you’d like to eat

Why choose party fish and chip van in Townhill Park?

You don’t need a venue: a drive or firm lawn is enough.

In Townhill Park and nearby, the van turns up at all sorts of events. Popular bookings include:

  • Family celebrations after a christening
  • Garden get-togethers
  • Family parties with children
  • Anniversaries and engagement parties

If you had Riverside Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans can’t simply park up and serve in a public park.

For event organisers in Townhill Park

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

What comes out of the fryer

Gravy

Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

Cod and chips

For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.

FAQs for Townhill Park

Can you serve after a service at St. Mary's Church?

Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.

Which station is closest to Townhill Park?

Swaythling station, about 1.1 miles north-west of the centre.

What does the van need?

Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

How long will the queue be?

Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.

Can the van come to our street party?

Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Tell the council about the van.

Do you need power or water?

A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.

Will the van fit on our drive?

Usually, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send a photo of the drive and the way in.

Space, access and the venue

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:

  • Confirmation that the van can park there
  • Space for people to queue at the hatch
  • Access wide and high enough for the van

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

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Buffets are simple but rarely memorable. A chip van gives guests something to talk about. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.

Why book with us

  • Served hot, straight from the hatch
  • A clear quote before booking
  • A menu almost everyone likes
  • Everything cooked to order at your event
