A chip van near Buriton
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Fish and chip van for events for your event in Buriton
Send us the event details and the pitch information, and we’ll let you know if we are available. Whether it is charity fundraisers and community events and sports tournaments, we’ll put together a menu of chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
Rural events near Buriton can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a chip van is a welcome sight. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.
How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Summer events in Buriton have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

A chip van compared with other options
For a reliable crowd-pleaser, a chip van is hard to beat. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

Working with your venue
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Agree who removes waste
- Agree how we’ll be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Give us an idea of numbers
When the event closes, we pack up.
Plan vehicle access before visitors arrive.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- The length of service
- Distance and any road charges
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name
Still finalising the details? That is fine: tell us the basics about your event, and we’ll quote on that. To start, fill in our quote form.
