Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
Harefield: your questions answered
Could you trade in Itchen Valley Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
Can you serve near the sea around Harefield?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you serve visitors at events?
We do. Visitors love it.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we will confirm what we can provide.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Do you cover Harefield?
We do. We serve events in Harefield and across Southampton. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
What affects the price in Harefield
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- Parking and the way in
- Any minimum charge
- Cod, haddock or both
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

What the van needs
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Staff lunches
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. 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.
