How our party fish and chip van works in Westcroft
Sausage and chips covers the children and anyone who doesn’t want fish, so nobody needs a separate meal. On the menu are pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for summer garden parties and neighbourhood get-togethers.
For a party in Westcroft, home is frequently the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the lane, and we’ll do the rest. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In Westcroft, a June party has light until about 9:25pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Clear the route for the van
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
Questions from Westcroft
Is Westcroft close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at St Giles's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is there a kids’ option?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Let us know numbers and ages.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.

Working with your venue
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:

- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Ensure the van can park legally
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in, before the cake.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
