Party fish and chip van for your party in Underling Green
A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. We are often asked to cater family celebrations after a christening and leaving parties, serving sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
A country party near Underling Green is perfect for fish and chips: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A route in without tight gates or low branches

- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The address or venue name
- A photo of the space and the way in

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
