Party fish and chip van in Tyler's Hill, cooked to order

In a small place like Tyler's Hill, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. In Tyler's Hill, a June party has light until about 9:25pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Name one person we can call on the day

Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A short walk from the party
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Hosting at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.

Common questions in Tyler's Hill
We are gathering after a service at St George's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Tyler's Hill close to London?
Roughly 25 miles from the centre of London.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Mention power and water and we will confirm the rest.
Will the van fit on our drive?
That depends on the space and the route in. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we will tell you honestly.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How early do summer dates go?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so ask early.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How far we travel
- The date and time of year
- The menu and how many choices
- How many people are eating
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- A picture of where the van would go
- The venue or postcode
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where the van would park
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
