Fish and chip van for events in Lee-on-the-Solent, cooked to order

Summer fairs around Lee-on-the-Solent are frequently run by volunteers, so a trader who brings everything is a bonus. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
When the event closes, we pack up.
A few benches near the van help.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Parking and the way in
- The minimum booking
- The number of meals
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.

How it works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Summer fêtes in Lee-on-the-Solent have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- It starts with your event and pitch details.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
Before we arrive

- Give us a contact for the day
- Clear the route for the van
