Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in North Fareham
Is North Fareham too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to North Fareham?
The closest is Fareham station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
When should we eat?
Early in the evening normally works best, before the drinks really flow. For lunchtime, we’ll work to your break.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Do you come to North Fareham?
Yes, we do. North Fareham is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
