How our fish and chip van for events works in Leigh Park

What affects the price in Leigh Park
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The minimum booking

Step by step
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. December events in Leigh Park lose the light at about 4:00pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there’s light until about 8:55pm.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day

Questions from Leigh Park
Can you come to a school fair in Leigh Park?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Which station is closest to Leigh Park?
Havant station, about 1 mile south of the centre.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
That varies: pitch fee, percentage or minimum. We’ll agree it in writing.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you come to Leigh Park?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Leigh Park is within our area and the rest of Hampshire. For a quote, use our quote form.
Can you come to a school event?
Yes, once the school agrees where the van goes. Send us the date and the spot.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
