About our fish and chip van for events in North Fareham
A van suits shows and field events, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. Whether it is food for volunteers and church fêtes and fish and chip suppers, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
A fête near North Fareham might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

North Fareham questions
Is North Fareham too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to North Fareham?
Fareham station, about 1.3 miles south-west of the centre.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you come to North Fareham?
Yes, we do. We serve events in North Fareham and across Hampshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can you trade at our fête or festival?
Yes, where the date suits. Get in touch with the details.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
What does the pitch need?
Send us the pitch details, and we’ll confirm.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Most events have a burger van. A chip van gives visitors something different. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

About the food
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Evening events in North Fareham have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
