How our party fish and chip van works in Wrecclesham
You do not need to hire a hall: the van makes your home the party venue. Typical bookings include street parties and garden parties and summer get-togethers, serving pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
In a place like Wrecclesham, a party at home is typically the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the lane, and we’ll bring everything else. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
How the day works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Midsummer parties in Wrecclesham stay bright until about 9:20pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you’re eating late.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Tell us when you want to eat

What the van needs
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Working with your venue
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.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Wrecclesham: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Wrecclesham?
Farnham station, about 1.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Can the van park in Underdown nature reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Surrey included. See all areas.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
