Fish and chip van for events for your event in Ossemsley
A chip van suits school fairs and sports days, with the school’s permission for the van on site. For charity fundraisers and community events and village fêtes, we can cook chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
At a field event near Ossemsley, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Ensure allergen information is available
- Tell us about the pitch
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Agree the terms in writing
At the end, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
The process
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we’ll adjust start times and pace to suit your event. At midsummer, events in Ossemsley stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 4:05pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Common questions in Ossemsley
What’s the nearest station to Ossemsley?
New Milton station, about 1.7 miles south of the centre.
Can you serve near the sea around Ossemsley?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What do you need on the pitch?
Send us the pitch details, and we will check it works.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
