How our party fish and chip van works in Wiston
You don’t need to hire a hall: the van makes your home the party venue. We are often asked to cater retirement parties and street parties and neighbourhood events, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Near Wiston, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

What the van needs

- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A short walk from the party

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Buffets are simple but rarely memorable. The van becomes part of the party. Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Wiston: your questions answered
Is Wiston close to London?
About 42 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Wiston too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you do something for the children?
Sausage and chips, normally. Tell us how many children to expect.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
