About our party fish and chip van in Upper Swanmore
Sausage and chips covers the children and anyone who does not want fish, so one van feeds the whole party. Popular choices include sausage and chips, gravy and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for street parties and children’s parties.
Near Upper Swanmore, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. Everything is fried fresh at your party, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Confirm allergies by email
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Tell us how many children are coming
Have bins and napkins by the van.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- The date and time of year
- The minimum booking
- How far we travel
- Cod, haddock or both
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.

What else we do in Upper Swanmore
Upper Swanmore questions
Is Upper Swanmore too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Barnabas?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you come to Upper Swanmore?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Upper Swanmore is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you do street parties?
Often, yes. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A buffet is easy but forgettable. The van becomes part of the party. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
