Choosing a fish and chip van

Party fish and chip van in Wiggonholt, fried fresh

For children, there is sausage and chips, so nobody needs a separate meal. For birthday parties and christenings and naming days, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.

A country party near Wiggonholt is perfect for fish and chips: fried fresh and eaten outside. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

About the food

Gravy

A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.

Pie and chips

For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.

How it works

We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests usually gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Autumn and winter parties in Wiggonholt get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Getting ready for the day

  • Have a level parking spot ready
  • Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
  • Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

Should I sort the food myself?

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

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 cooks in front of your guests instead.

Is a fish and chip van right for your party?

Next to a DIY barbecue, the host isn’t stuck cooking all afternoon. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

Why book our van in Wiggonholt

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
