Party fish and chip van in Watersfield, fried fresh
A chip van also works for street parties, with the right permissions in place. We serve haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater leaving parties and reunions and family get-togethers.
In a small place like Watersfield, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
For a party that feels special but relaxed, a fish and chip van is a great choice. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What you get with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. At midsummer, it’s light in Watersfield until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
