Planning an event in Passfield?
The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. In Passfield, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Share the timings for the day
Getting a price
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, fill in our quote form.

Passfield events: pitches and permissions
Passfield is about 7 miles south-east of Alton, in Hampshire. Whether your event is in the middle of Passfield or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. We serve all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Passfield to Guildford (15 miles away).
A school like Mill Chase Academy can book the van for a fair, fun run or sports day. Events in and around the Surrey Hills National Landscape, within about 5 miles of Passfield, frequently have rules about vehicles, ground and waste; we will follow the site’s requirements.
Anywhere in GU30, we can fry fresh for your visitors. That could mean an event at a home on The Lyndons, Eleanor Close and Lynchborough Road or the roads around them, wherever the van can park.

Other occasions in Passfield
A chip van compared with other options
Burger vans are common at events. Fish and chips adds variety. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- A clear route onto the pitch
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Passfield questions
Do you come out to small places like Passfield?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you come to a school fair in Passfield?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Visitors will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Can you come to a school event?
Yes, once the school agrees where the van goes. Send us the date and the spot.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
