Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in St Denys
Can you serve near the sea around St Denys?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
What’s the nearest station to St Denys?
St Denys has its own station: St Denys station.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
Portion sizes are agreed in advance.
Where will the van park?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

Yes, we do. We serve events in St Denys and across Southampton. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you clear up afterwards?

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
