About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Common questions in Hounsdown
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What’s the nearest station to Hounsdown?
The closest is Totton station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
Do you work around shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We’ll plan it with you.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
Generally, if there is a level spot and the site allows it. We will agree the exact spot with you or facilities.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Access and parking
- Whether a minimum applies
- Your choice of menu
- How long we serve
Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or venue name
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Each quote is put together for your staff event. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability right away.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ask facilities about access
- Find out what documents the site needs
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we are ready when the first group comes out.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
