If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips

- Mushy peas

How the day works
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Long summer days in North Fareham, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm.
- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

- A quote that spells everything out
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking

Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:

- Flag any coeliac crew
- Put allergy details in writing
- Share the base location and route

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in North Fareham
How far is North Fareham from London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to North Fareham?
Fareham station, about 1.3 miles south-west of the centre.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Crew will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
We expect changes. A contact on the day is all we need.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
