Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Ensure the van can park legally
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Confirm allergies by email
Keep the queue away from the road if the van is on the drive.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.
Party fish and chip van in Walhampton, cooked to order
The queue at the hatch gets people mixing, which is what a party is all about. We serve mushy peas, gravy and curry sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater retirement parties and naming days and christenings.
In a small place like Walhampton, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
A chip van compared with other options
For a relaxed celebration, a chip van is hard to beat in Walhampton. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

The process
You’ll know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. At midsummer, it’s light in Walhampton 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.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- We check access for the van and send a quote.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- We serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.
- We pack up when we are done and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Any minimum charge
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The day of the week

Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

- The venue or postcode
- Dietary needs, with numbers

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.

Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
About the food
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
