For event organisers in Baughurst
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

Open days and customer events work well too: people gather at the van and linger. Whether it is fish Friday treats and staff appreciation days, we can cook pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips and more.
Near Baughurst, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic in the car park or yard.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.

What affects the price in Baughurst
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Your choice of menu
- How far we travel
- The day of the week
- The length of service
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- A picture of the parking spot
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Not sure of numbers yet? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your staff event, and we will quote on that. To start, fill in our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Baughurst: your questions answered
How far is Baughurst from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Baughurst too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every site asks for something different, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
How does payment work for businesses?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Can the van come to Baughurst?
We do. We serve events in Baughurst and across Hampshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a sandwich platter, fish and chips feels like a real thank-you. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
