How our party fish and chip van works in Wyck
With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. On the menu are pie and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater milestone birthdays and kids’ birthday parties.
Near Wyck, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
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.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
A closer look at the menu
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
