Common questions in Laverstoke
Is Laverstoke too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Laverstoke close to London?
About 55 miles from central London.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What about visitors who do not eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you do festivals?
Yes, where the date suits. Get in touch with the details.
What can visitors choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Fish and chip van for events in Laverstoke, fried fresh
We trade at village fêtes, school fairs, sports days, festivals and shows. Whether it’s church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and horse and dog shows, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas.
At a field event near Laverstoke, power and water may be limited; let us know and we’ll plan for it. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Make sure allergen information is available
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
If we’re feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.
A chip van compared with other options
Next to a volunteer barbecue, a van means volunteers can enjoy the day. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.
Why book with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Rain does not stop the fryers
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
