Party fish and chip van for your party in Trash Green
For children, there is sausage and chips, so one van feeds the whole party. We serve curry sauce, mushy peas and gravy, and typical bookings are for birthday parties and family reunions.
In a small place like Trash Green, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Trash Green?
A buffet is easy but forgettable. The van becomes part of the party. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Common questions in Trash Green
Do you come out to small places like Trash Green?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Trash Green close to London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer weekends go first. Ask about your date.
Can you do something for the children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include them in your numbers.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Do you need power or water from us?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we will confirm what we need.

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- A picture of the parking spot helps
- Count children separately
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
We park on the agreed spot and set up, then serve as guests come up.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Sunset in Trash Green is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- First, tell us about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Clear the route for the van
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Share the timings for the day

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
- 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
