FAQs for Everton
Which station is closest to Everton?
The closest is Lymington Town station, roughly 2.5 miles away.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
What do you need on the pitch?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Mention any power or water.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for visitors.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Fish and chip van for events in Everton, fried fresh
The smell of fish and chips brings a queue to any fête. Organisers get a trader almost everyone is happy to queue for. We serve curry sauce, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater sports days and crew and volunteer catering.
A fête near Everton might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food brings people in on cooler days. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why us?
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- A quote that spells everything out
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
Put bins near the queue.
A few benches near the van help.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
