How the day works
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your event. Summer fêtes in Peartree Green have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.

Fairs, fêtes and events in Peartree Green
Peartree Green is about 1 mile south-east of Southampton, in Southampton. Whether your event is in the middle of Peartree Green or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. We cover all 40 towns and villages across Southampton.
If visitors are coming by train, Woolston station is in Peartree Green itself. Events in parks such as Houndwell Park need permission from the council or landowner, and the van needs a firm route onto the pitch. Within about 7 miles is the New Forest National Park, where events may have extra rules on vehicles and waste; we’ll follow the site’s requirements. The coast is within about 2 miles of Peartree Green, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch, and fish and chips sells well by the sea.
We take the van to events all over SO19 and SO14. Whether your event is on Sea Road, Hazel Road and Ailsa Lane or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. If your venue is just outside Peartree Green, we also cover Itchen (1 mile south-east), Northam (1 mile north), St Mary's (1 mile west), Bitterne (1 mile north-east) and Sholing (1 mile east).

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Access and parking
- Numbers
- Whether a minimum applies
- The menu and how many choices
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Expected numbers
- Where the event is
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. 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.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
