- Agree when volunteers will eat

Have a hard-standing back-up pitch in case the ground is soft.

Bramdean questions
Do you come out to small places like Bramdean?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Bramdean close to London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your visitors, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you come to Bramdean?
We do. We serve events in Bramdean and across Hampshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Visitors will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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.
