About our party fish and chip van in Yateley
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a chip van too, once the council has agreed the road closure. For get-togethers with old friends and family celebrations after a christening, we can cook cod and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce and more.
Garden parties are a favourite in Yateley, and a hall or club works if the drive is small. All we need is a level parking spot. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Yateley
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Could you trade in Ambarrow Court?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can the van park on grass?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Will the van fit on our drive?
Usually, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send us a picture and tell us about gates and branches.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
