The process
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. For an end-of-day event in Paulsgrove, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue

What comes out of the fryer

Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Paulsgrove
What’s the nearest station to Paulsgrove?
Cosham station, about 1.2 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you serve near the sea around Paulsgrove?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.

- The length of service
- Access and parking
- The date and time of year
- The menu and how many choices
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

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.

- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
