Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
We park on the agreed spot and set up, then serve as guests come up.
A few lights around the van look great.
How our party fish and chip van works in Wolverton Common
A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. The van parks, the fryers go on and the food goes out hot. We’re frequently asked to cater retirement parties and family parties with children, serving cod and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
In a small place like Wolverton Common, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. Sunset in Wolverton Common is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
