Party fish and chip van in Weald

Food your guests will love

Mushy peas

No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.

Haddock and chips

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Allergies and dietary needs

We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:

  • Flag any coeliac guests
  • Have a back-up for special diets
  • Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
  • A picture of the parking spot helps

Have bins and napkins by the van.

Takeaway run or book a van?

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

How it works

Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Autumn and winter parties in Weald get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.

  1. It starts with your date, address and numbers.
  2. We check access for the van and send a quote.
  3. On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
  4. We serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.
  5. We pack up when we are done and leave the pitch tidy.

Getting ready for the day

  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Choose a level, firm spot for the van
  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

For planners, venues and organisers

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

Questions from Weald

Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?

Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.

How far is Weald from London?

Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

Can you do something for the children?

Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include them in your numbers.

What do you need at the house?

A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Mention power and water and we’ll confirm the rest.

Do we need to provide equipment?

The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

Who clears up?

The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

What if the weather’s bad?

We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

Where do you take the van?

London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.

Prices and what affects them

These are the factors that matter most:

  • The day of the week
  • Numbers
  • Access and parking
  • The minimum booking

There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

What to tell us

Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:

  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • Rough numbers for adults and children
  • A picture of where the van would go
  • The date and when you’d like to eat

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. To get started, use our quote form.

Before you choose a spot

A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:

  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
  • Somewhere close to where people will eat
  • Permission from the venue or landowner for the van

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
