Priddy's Hard questions
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
What’s the nearest station to Priddy's Hard?
The closest is Portsmouth Harbour station, roughly 1 mile away.
Can the van come to our wrap?
Yes. A chip van suits a relaxed wrap party.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you park at the unit base?
Yes, on level ground at base; we will check the route.
Do numbers include extras?
Yes. Let us know total numbers.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Some locations have nowhere to buy food. A van brings lunch to base. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Organising a club, school or community event in Priddy's Hard? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
What the van needs
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Access checked by locations
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- Light near the van if needed
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Should I sort the food myself?

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
