How our party fish and chip van works in Westwell Leacon
You don’t need to hire a hall: the van makes your home the party venue. Whether it is kids’ birthday parties and family reunions, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
Near Westwell Leacon, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
How it works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests generally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. At midsummer, it is light in Westwell Leacon until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- Contact us 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.
- 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
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Questions from Westwell Leacon
Do you come out to small places like Westwell Leacon?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve after a service at Charing Methodist Church?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so it pays to ask early.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
