FAQs for Harbridge
Do you come out to small places like Harbridge?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes. Send us your date and site details.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Check the van can park on site
- Confirm allergies by email
Plan cover for the queue.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
