Party fish and chip van in Wanborough, fried fresh
A chip van also works for street parties, with the right permissions in place. We serve sausage and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater birthday parties and family celebrations after a christening.
In a small place like Wanborough, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A buffet is easy but forgettable. The van becomes part of the party. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.

Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Count children separately
- A photo of the parking spot helps
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.
Put the menu up by the van.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Wanborough questions
Can the van park in Pucks Oak Barn and McAlmont Reserves?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
Is Wanborough too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, where the council allows it. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
