About our party fish and chip van in Wye
Birthdays, garden parties, anniversaries and christenings all suit a fish and chip van. It is food every generation enjoys. On the menu are sausage and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for family parties with children and anniversaries and engagement parties.
Near Wye, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

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.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
A chip van compared with other options
For a party that feels special but relaxed, a chip van is hard to beat. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

Wye: your questions answered
Is Wye close to London?
About 50 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Wye too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
How much space do you 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.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What do you need at the house?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we’ll say what we need.
Organising for someone else?
