Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A themed afternoon with a van feels like a day out, without leaving the home. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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’s fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
The process
Changes on the day are fine: we’ll adjust start times and pace. In Hampden Park, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:50pm and 7:00pm; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.
- It starts with your date, numbers and mealtime.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- We agree portion sizes and any diets with your kitchen or care team.
- We park up and cook to order at mealtime.
- Afterwards, we pack up quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will check availability straight away.
Planning help
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Plan portion sizes with us
- Choose a time around meals and medication
We serve at the time the home chooses, around meals and medication.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.

Hampden Park questions
What’s the nearest station to Hampden Park?
Hampden Park station, in Hampden Park itself.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
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. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Are visitors included?
Of course. Add them to your numbers.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
