Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Atherfield Green
Is Atherfield Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can staff have lunch from the van?
Of course. Add them to your numbers.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Can you park at the home?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Atherfield Green?
Next to a delivery order, a van serves hot food on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
