What affects the price in Milford on Sea
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Parking and the way in
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- Cod, haddock or both
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.

To speed things up, tell us:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Rough numbers for adults and children

Common questions in Milford on Sea
What’s the nearest station to Milford on Sea?
Lymington Town station, about 3.4 miles north-east of the centre.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
What can staff choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
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 will take it from there.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Milford on Sea.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
What will facilities need from you?
Sites vary, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.

What else we do in Milford on Sea
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in Milford on Sea? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
