Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Share the shift pattern
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Collect allergies in advance
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.

- How long we serve
- Whether a minimum applies
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.

- Allergies and diets you know about

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

Common questions in Blendworth
Is Blendworth too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Blendworth?
The closest is Rowlands Castle station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options.
