There is no need for a venue: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. For milestone birthdays and street parties and neighbourhood events, we can cook curry sauce, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
In a small place like Welborne, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Welborne
Do you come out to small places like Welborne?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Francis?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
What do children eat?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Tell us how many children to expect.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Sunset in Welborne is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After dark, light the area around the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- The menu and how many choices
- The minimum booking
Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
