Party fish and chip van in Tudeley Hale, cooked to order
With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. The van parks, the fryers go on and the food goes out hot. We serve mushy peas, curry sauce and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater milestone birthdays and reunions and family get-togethers.
In a small place like Tudeley Hale, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will plan the route. Timings are planned around your party, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
