How our party fish and chip van works in Up Somborne
Everything is cooked as people come up, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. For reunions and family get-togethers and anniversary celebrations, we can cook curry sauce, gravy and sausage and chips.
In a small place like Up Somborne, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will plan the route. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Common questions in Up Somborne
Can you serve after a service at All Saints Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Up Somborne too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can you park at our house?
It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we will tell you honestly.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Up Somborne.
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. 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.
