Fish and chip van for events in Blashford, fried fresh

At a field event near Blashford, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Where the van can park in Blashford
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- What’s available on the pitch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Blashford questions
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Blashford?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What does the pitch need?
Tell us the pitch size and ground, and we will check it works.
Do you cover Blashford?
We do. Blashford is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you do festivals?
Often, yes. Get in touch with the details.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- Parking and the way in
- Any minimum charge
- The length of service
Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
