Event catering near Andwell
Andwell is about 3 miles south-west of Hook, in Hampshire. We serve events at drives, car parks, yards and venues around Andwell and nearby villages. Andwell is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Andwell to Reading (about 13 miles away).

We take the van to events all over the RG25, RG27 and RG24 postcode area and the streets around it.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Common questions in Andwell
How far is Andwell from London?
About 43 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Andwell too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How much does a fish and chip van for your event cost in Andwell?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Do you do festivals?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information and we’ll let you know if we are available.
Working with your venue
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Agree how we’ll be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
Mark out the queue area away from walkways.
A sign at the entrance tells visitors hot food is available.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
At a small fête, one good trader may be all you need. 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.

About the food
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Visitors typically gather round the hatch as soon as we open. December events in Andwell lose the light at about 4:00pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- First, tell us about your event.
- 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 your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Name one person we can call on the day
