Wadwick: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Wadwick?
The closest is Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, roughly 3.2 miles away.
Is Wadwick too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, it’s a popular wrap. Tell us the details.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Do you cover Wadwick?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Wadwick is within our area and the rest of Hampshire. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.

What else we do in Wadwick
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Share the base location and route
- Agree how the base is left
- Confirm numbers the day before
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
Lunch is planned around the call sheet, and a contact keeps us updated.
Bins at base keep the location clean.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. A van cooks at the unit base. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.

Occasions we serve in Wadwick

- Event crews

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Step by step
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. Light in Wadwick lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
Ask for a quote
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
