Book the van in West Green
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Party fish and chip van in West Green, cooked to order
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a chip van too, with the right permissions in place. For anniversary celebrations and family reunions, we can cook sausage and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce.
Parties around West Green are often relaxed garden affairs. A chip van fits right in. Everything is fried fresh at your party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

How it works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we will adjust start times and pace. Sunset in West Green is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Share the timings for the day
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
