Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. For a staff lunch in South Ham, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Clear the route for the van
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

For event organisers in South Ham
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
South Ham questions
Could you trade in Eastrop Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to South Ham?
The closest is Basingstoke station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Give us break and shift times
- Send round an allergy question
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
Send a message round when the van opens.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team

- How many people are eating
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Travel, tolls and road charges
