Questions from Old Netley
Which station is closest to Old Netley?
The closest is Bursledon station, roughly 1 mile away.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can the van come to Old Netley?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Old Netley is within our area and the rest of Hampshire. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your crew, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
- Send the unit base address and directions
- Let us know about coeliac disease
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. A van cooks at the unit base. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- No surprises in your quote
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Hot food handed straight over
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

Planning help
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.

Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Cod, haddock or both
- How far we travel
- Any minimum charge
- Access and parking
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of where the van would go
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: tell us the basics about your shoot, and we will quote on that. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
