Fish and chip van for events in Binley
Fish and chip van for events for your event in Binley
A van suits shows and field events, as long as there’s a firm route onto the pitch. For community festivals and church fêtes, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and chips and more.
Near Binley, events may be far from shops and cafés, so fish and chips goes down well. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
For planners, venues and organisers
Hosting at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food brings people in on cooler days. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
Why us?
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- A clear quote before booking
- Events in Binley and across Hampshire
- A van that becomes part of the event

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Agree how we will be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Have other stalls for special diets
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch.
Pre-sold meal tickets can help at fundraisers.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- A clear route onto the pitch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. In Binley, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:25pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
