Party fish and chip van in Whitehill, cooked to order
Sausage and chips covers the children and anyone who does not want fish, so nobody needs a separate meal. Typical bookings include summer garden parties and christenings and naming days, with sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
Parties around Whitehill are frequently relaxed garden affairs. The van fits right in. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Send us a picture of the drive
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Count children separately
- Flag any coeliac guests
It’s worth telling the neighbours, or invite them.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The number of meals
- How easy the site is to reach
- Your choice of menu
- The date and time of year
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of the parking spot

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
