Fish and chip van for events for your event in New Alresford
Country shows and field events suit a van, as long as there’s a firm route onto the pitch. Whether it is feeding event crew and village fêtes, we can cook curry sauce, chips and sausage and chips and more.
Summer fairs around New Alresford are frequently run by volunteers, so a self-sufficient van helps. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Step by step
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. The frying and serving are down to us. December events in New Alresford lose the light at about 4:00pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there’s light until about 8:55pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Give us a contact for the day

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in New Alresford
How far is New Alresford from London?
About 54 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you come to a school fair in New Alresford?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Hampshire. Find your area.
Can you come to a school event?
Yes. We will need a safe route onto the site away from children.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
