Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Care home fish and chips in North Hayling, cooked to order
A regular visit gives everyone something to look forward to in the calendar. Whether it’s lunch clubs and lunch for the care team, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, gravy and pie and chips.
At a rural home near North Hayling, access matters so we can plan the route. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

North Hayling is about 3 miles south of Havant, in Hampshire.

North Hayling is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we bring the van. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 20 miles away.
A care home summer fair, perhaps with a church like Church of St Peter, is a good occasion for a van visit. Residents who remember days out at Hayling Billy may enjoy talking about it over fish and chips. The coast is within about 4 miles, and a van visit brings back seaside memories.
For care home visits in PO11, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many residents.

Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The length of service
- Cod, haddock or both
- The day of the week
Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your care home visit, the better we can plan. Please include:
- A photo of the parking spot
- The date and time of the event
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Expected numbers
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in North Hayling
Can the van park in Eames Farm?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is North Hayling too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.

The process
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. In summer, North Hayling has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- The home tells us the date, numbers for residents, staff and visitors, and the best time to serve.
- We check where the van can park and send a quote.
- We agree portion sizes and any diets with your kitchen or care team.
- We serve hot from the hatch at the time the home chooses.
- We pack up quietly and leave the space tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
