Is Bramshott too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Which areas do you serve?

Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we will explain the options.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Can you park on the road outside?

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
