Fish and chip van for events in Highcliffe, cooked to order
We can trade to the public or feed your volunteers, or both. We’re frequently asked to cater community festivals and church fêtes and fish and chip suppers, with chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Events near Highcliffe are often volunteer-run, so a self-sufficient van helps. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Highcliffe
Do you trade at school fairs around Highcliffe?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
What’s the nearest station to Highcliffe?
Winchester station, about 1.1 miles north-west of the centre.
How much does a fish and chip van for your event cost in Highcliffe?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Visitors will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Working with your venue
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Prices and what affects them

- The number of meals

- Expected numbers
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Agree who removes waste
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
Mark out the queue area away from walkways.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
How it works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your event. Summer fêtes in Highcliffe have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:10pm.
