What’s the nearest station to Bull Hill?
The closest is Lymington Town station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you cover Bull Hill?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Bull Hill is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.
How do you charge at fêtes?
That varies: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We’ll agree it in writing.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.

Take a look at how we price or our guide to van hire costs.
How it works
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. At midsummer, events in Bull Hill stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Get permission for the van from the venue
