Open days and customer events work well too: people gather at the van and linger. On the menu are pie and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater retirement send-offs and customer days.
For businesses around Blackfield, a staff lunch in the yard is easy to arrange. Tell us about the site and access. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Blackfield questions
Can you serve near the sea around Blackfield?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Which station is closest to Blackfield?
The closest is Hamble station, roughly 4.1 miles away.
Can the van come to Blackfield?
Yes, we do. Blackfield is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes. Visitors love it.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In Blackfield, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
- 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, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
How to get a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, use our quote form.

What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Service time
- Whether a minimum applies
- How easy the site is to reach
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The address or venue name
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Expected numbers
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
A chip van compared with other options
Corporate buffets are typically cold. A van serves hot food to order. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Send round an allergy question
- Have a back-up for special diets
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps.
Tell the team in advance: it’s half the fun.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
