About the food
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
How our party fish and chip van works in Upper Kingston
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. Typical bookings include retirement celebrations and family parties with children, with mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
In a small place like Upper Kingston, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether a minimum applies
- Access and parking
- Distance and any road charges
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Show us where the van would go
- Count children separately
Put bins and napkins near the hatch.
A few lights around the van look great.

How the day works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. In Upper Kingston, a June party has light until about 9:25pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:10pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Tell us when you want to eat
