Planning an event in Wivelrod?
The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. A lunch-break van visit in Wivelrod is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 4:00pm in December or 7:10pm in late September.
- Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
- We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- We clear up and leave the site as we found it.
How to prepare
- Clear the route for the van
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Have a level parking spot ready

Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.

- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates

For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
What affects the price in Wivelrod
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Cod, haddock or both
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The day of the week
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your staff event.

- A picture of where the van would go

Questions from Wivelrod
What’s the nearest station to Wivelrod?
The closest is Alton station, roughly 3 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Wivelrod?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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 is crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
