Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Headbourne Worthy
What’s the nearest station to Headbourne Worthy?
Winchester station, about 1.8 miles south-west of the centre.
How far is Headbourne Worthy from London?
About 59 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What does the pitch need?
Send us the pitch details, and we will confirm.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
What can visitors choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Organising for someone else?
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

Planning help
A fish and chip van or other catering?
At a small fête, one good trader may be all you need. 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.
What you get with us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Something for visitors to gather round
- Bookings across Hampshire, including Headbourne Worthy
- No surprises in your quote
See our pricing and our guide to van hire costs.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
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.
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Agree who removes waste
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
Bins near the van help keep the site tidy.
