FAQs for South Weirs
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is South Weirs too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Can families and staff eat too?
Of course. Add them to your numbers.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Can you cater for 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.

Compared with a takeaway delivery, the van cooks on site, so it is not lukewarm by the time it’s plated. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger residents and fish-dodgers.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A route in without tight gates
- With the serving side away from windows
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
