There’s no need for a venue: the van makes your home the party venue. For big birthdays and garden get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and curry sauce.

Near Up Nately, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Buffets are simple but rarely memorable. A chip van gives guests something to talk about. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.

What you get with us

  • Nothing for you to cook or clear
  • Bookings across Hampshire, including Up Nately
  • Something for guests to gather round
  • All the chip-shop extras

Read our pricing and what a fish and chip van costs.

Allergies and dietary needs

Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:

  • Give us separate numbers for children
  • Check the street’s parking rules
  • A picture of the parking spot helps
  • 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.

Finish with the birthday cake.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
