About our party fish and chip van in Westenhanger
It feels like a treat, but stays relaxed: fish and chips from the van, eaten in the garden. Typical bookings include retirement celebrations and street parties and neighbourhood events, with curry sauce, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
In a small place like Westenhanger, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with cooking a barbecue yourself, a chip van means nobody is stuck at the grill. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
What you get with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- A menu almost everyone likes
- No surprises in your quote
- Everything cooked to order at your event

What affects the price in Westenhanger
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Your choice of menu
- Numbers
- The day of the week
Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Your date and serving time
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Expected numbers
- Anything awkward about the way in
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. At midsummer, it is light in Westenhanger until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- 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.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Share the timings for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
Getting a price
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.

What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Cod and chips
