How our party fish and chip van works in Wittensford
A chip van also works for street parties, once the council has agreed the road closure. Whether it’s engagement parties and milestone birthdays, we can cook gravy, cod and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
Country parties near Wittensford suit a chip van: fried fresh and eaten outside. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a spot will not work. What matters most:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A short walk from the party

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
When everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
How the day works
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. A summer party in Wittensford stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.

Working with your venue

For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Wittensford
Do you come out to small places like Wittensford?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How early do summer dates go?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Get in touch with your date.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Wittensford.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
