Fish and chip van for events in Hound Green, cooked to order
Fêtes, school fairs, festivals and shows all suit a chip van. We are often asked to cater feeding event crew and sports tournaments, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
Near Hound Green, events may be far from shops and cafés, so fish and chips goes down well. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Hound Green events: pitches and permissions
Hound Green is about 5 miles west of Yateley, in Hampshire. From the centre of Hound Green to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. Hound Green is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Hound Green to Reading (9 miles away).
If visitors are coming by train, Hook station is about 3.2 miles away.
For events in RG27, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many visitors. We can serve an event on streets such as Hudsons Meadow, Vicarage Grove and Vicarage Lane or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. Close by, we cover events in Mattingley (1 mile south), Hazeley (1 mile east), Heckfield (1 mile north), Heckfield Heath (1 mile north) and Bramshill (2 miles north-east). Larger places within reach include Basingstoke (8 miles south-west), Farnborough (8 miles east), Fleet (6 miles south-east), Aldershot (10 miles south-east), Alton (12 miles south) and Yateley (5 miles east).
Nearby you’ll also find West Green House Agricultural Museum (2 miles south-east) and Beaumys Castle (3.7 miles north). Within reach you’ll find Dogmersfield Lake and The Marshes Local Nature Reserve.
- Nearby, you’ll find New Inn (0.7 miles north)
Step by step
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. At midsummer, events in Hound Green stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Agree who removes waste
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Agree how we’ll be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch, at the agreed time.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu and how many choices
- The day of the week
- How easy the site is to reach
- Any minimum charge
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the van would park
- A picture of where the van would go
- The venue or postcode
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food is a draw when it’s cool. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Why us?
- Hot food handed straight over
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- No kitchen needed
- A clear quote before booking
