Fish and chip van for events in Hazeley
About our fish and chip van for events in Hazeley
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, which helps volunteer-run events. Popular choices include mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we are often booked for food for volunteers and church fêtes and fish and chip suppers.
Rural events near Hazeley can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a chip van is a welcome sight. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger visitors and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

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 make it work smoothly:
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Agree how we will be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
When the event closes, we pack up.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
At larger events, a van adds to the mix and spreads the queues. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

- Parking and the way in
- The day of the week
- How many people are eating
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

FAQs for Hazeley
What’s the nearest station to Hazeley?
The closest is Winchfield station, roughly 3.3 miles away.
Is Hazeley close to London?
About 38 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your visitors, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What can visitors choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
How do you charge at fêtes?
That varies: pitch fee, percentage or minimum. We will agree terms before the day.

The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Summer fêtes in Hazeley have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
