Fish and chip van for events in Inhurst
Event catering near Inhurst
Inhurst is about 2 miles west of Tadley, in Hampshire. Wherever your event is in the RG26 area, we can bring the van to you. Inhurst is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 11 miles away.
For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Saint Mary's Church, a chip van adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. If you are organising a summer fair or sports day for a school such as The Hurst School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser.
Events anywhere in RG26 start with a parking spot for the van and a serving time. Local streets include Inhurst Lane, Stokes Lane and Brimpton Road; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. We also bring the van to events in Heath End (1 mile north-east), Baughurst (1 mile south-east), Axmansford (1 mile south), Brimpton Common (1 mile north-west) and Tadley (2 miles east). We also serve nearby towns such as Basingstoke (7 miles south-east), Yateley (15 miles east), Hook (11 miles south-east), Popley (6 miles south-east), Kempshott (8 miles south) and Oakridge (7 miles south-east).
A little further out are Park Prewett Hospital (5.8 miles south-east) and Calleva Museum (3.5 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Thatcham Reed Beds.

About our fish and chip van for events in Inhurst
Send us the event details and the pitch information, and we will tell you quickly whether we can come. For sports club events and race days and church fêtes and fish and chip suppers, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
Rural events near Inhurst 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, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Questions from Inhurst
Is Inhurst close to London?
About 48 miles from central London.
Which station is closest to Inhurst?
Midgham station, about 2.8 miles north of the centre.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What does the pitch need?
A firm pitch with space for a queue. Tell us about power and water.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
How much does a fish and chip van for your event cost in Inhurst?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
At a small fête, one good trader may be all you need, with cakes and teas alongside. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.

What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. December events in Inhurst lose the light at about 4:00pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there’s light until about 8:55pm.
- It starts with your event and pitch details.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
