A fish and chip van or other catering?
Activities are important; a van visit is both. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
What you get with us
- Events in Pamber End and across Hampshire
- Everything cooked to order at your event

The process
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. In summer, Pamber End has daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Clear the route for the van

We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.
