Looking after everyone
Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Fit the visit around routines
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
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. Ask the council or landowner early.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Light near the van after dark
- A route in without tight gates
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Haddock and chips

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

FAQs for Fawley
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you serve near the sea around Fawley?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Do you offer repeat visits?
We’re happy to talk about repeat visits.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Fawley?
Next to a delivery order, a van serves hot food on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
