Party fish and chip van in West Byfleet
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
About our party fish and chip van in West Byfleet
We park on the drive or a firm spot near the party, with the serving hatch towards the garden. We’re frequently asked to cater milestone birthdays and street parties, with gravy, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
In a place like West Byfleet, a party at home is normally the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the lane, and we will do the rest. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
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.

In West Byfleet, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you’re eating late.

Common questions in West Byfleet
Can you serve after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can the van park in Manor Farm?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Mention the van in your application.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How early do summer dates go?
Summer weekends go first. Ask about your date.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you need power or water from us?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Tell us what’s available and we will take it from there.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Buffets are simple but rarely memorable. The van becomes part of the party. 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. We set everything out in your quote.
