Party fish and chip van in Witley, fried fresh
We park on the drive or a firm spot near the party, with the hatch facing your guests. For family celebrations after a christening and get-togethers with old friends, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce for your guests.
Country parties near Witley suit a chip van: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. Everything is fried fresh at your party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
Step by step
You do not need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your party. The frying and serving are down to us. A summer party in Witley stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check access for the van and send a quote.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
- Afterwards, we clear up and leave you to it.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- A clear quote before you book
- A van that becomes part of the event
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
What affects the price in Witley
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Cod, haddock or both
- How far we travel
- How easy the site is to reach
- Whether a minimum applies
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The venue or postcode
Each quote is put together for your party. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability straight away.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
