Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in St Mary Bourne
Which station is closest to St Mary Bourne?
Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, about 2.9 miles south-east of the centre.
Is St Mary Bourne too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including St Mary Bourne.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What about staff who do not eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.

What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The minimum booking
- How easy the site is to reach
- The date and time of year
- Service time
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where the event is
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and time of the event
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A short walk from the party
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Staff lunches
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
What happens on the day
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Staff usually gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Summer events after work in St Mary Bourne have light until about 9:25pm; in late May it is about 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day

Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
