A chip van compared with other options
Entertainers and activities are great; a van visit is both. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Common questions in Kempshott
Is Kempshott close to London?
About 48 miles from central London.
Which station is closest to Kempshott?
Basingstoke station, about 2.8 miles north-east of the centre.
Can everyone take part?
Yes, with meals for texture-modified diets from the home’s own kitchen, following their care plans.
Where should the van go?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
We will plan portions with the home.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
