Fish and chip van for events in Hyde, cooked to order
Food is fried to order, so it is hot and crisp. On the menu are cod and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater sports days and church fêtes.
A fête near Hyde might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. Everything is fried fresh at your event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Fairs, fêtes and events in Hyde
Hyde is in Hampshire. Bookings in Hyde come in all shapes and sizes, but it always starts the same way: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. We take the van to all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Hyde to Southampton (16 miles away).
If you are organising a summer fair or sports day for a school such as Hyde Church of England Primary School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. Within about 7 miles is the New Forest National Park, where events may have extra rules on vehicles and waste; we will follow the site’s requirements.
Anywhere in SP6, we can fry fresh for your visitors. Local streets include Gorley Lynch and Hyde Lane; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.

- Local schools include The Burgate School and Sixth Form (2.2 miles north-west)
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- What’s available on the pitch
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
On the menu in Hyde

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Parking and the way in
- Any minimum charge
- How far we travel
- The number of meals
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The address or venue name
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the van would park
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
At bigger events, a chip van works alongside other traders. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Why book our van in Hyde

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.
