How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and get on with frying and serving. December in Hursley means early darkness: sunset is about 4:00pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Family get-togethers over the festive season can use a van too. For school and PTA Christmas fairs and christmas family parties, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
In winter near Hursley, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Hursley: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Hursley?
The closest is Shawford station, roughly 2.7 miles away.
Is Hursley close to London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, it’s a popular stall. Get in touch with the date.
When should we eat?
Early in the evening normally works best. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
