Party fish and chip van in Vernham Street
Party fish and chip van in Vernham Street, fried fresh
It feels like a treat, but stays relaxed: paper portions of fish and chips in the garden. For naming days and christenings and children’s parties, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, gravy and cod and chips and more.
In a small place like Vernham Street, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Organising for someone else?
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
The process
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. At midsummer, it is light in Vernham Street until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.

Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
Will the van fit on our drive?
Normally, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send us a photo and tell us about gates and branches.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Mention power and water and we’ll confirm the rest.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A short walk from the party
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Confirm allergies by email
Keep the queue away from the road.
