Fish and chip van for events across Hampshire

A van suits shows and field events, as long as there is a firm route onto the pitch. We are often asked to cater horse and dog shows and sports tournaments, serving curry sauce, chips and sausage and chips.

You don’t need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. The frying and serving are down to us.

We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Cost

Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

How to get a price

Near you in Basingstoke

In Basingstoke, that can mean an event near King's Furlong Infant School and Nursery, Cranbourne and Eastrop Park. Nearby too are The Rising Sun pub (0.5 miles north-east), St Michael's Church (0.5 miles east) and The Costello School (1 mile east). The nearest railway station is Basingstoke station, roughly 0.6 miles east. Other landmarks nearby include Basing House (2.2 miles east) and The Malls (0.6 miles east). Green spaces within easy reach include Farleigh Hill and Daneshill Park Woods.

Community events across Hampshire

In Hampshire’s villages, events may have limited power and water, and town events in Basingstoke, Winchester and Gosport need quick service for bigger crowds. The van does both. Parts of Hampshire are within a few miles of the New Forest National Park, the South Downs National Park and the Surrey Hills National Landscape, so check venue rules on vehicles for countryside events. Around 143 places in Hampshire are close to the coast, so we often plan a sheltered side for the queue, and fish and chips feels right at home.

Basingstoke: For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as St Michael's Church, a chip van adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. If visitors are coming by train, Basingstoke station is about 0.6 miles away. Summer fêtes in Basingstoke have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:10pm.

Space, access and the venue

The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:

A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
Access that avoids crowds
What’s available on the pitch

About the food

Haddock and chips

Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Sausage and chips

Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.

Your choice of menu
How easy the site is to reach

There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
