Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
How our party fish and chip van works in Yopps Green

A country party near Yopps Green is perfect for fish and chips: fried fresh and eaten outside. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Check the street’s parking rules
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in, before the cake.
Finish with the birthday cake.
