Running an event in Regents Park
Regents Park is about 2 miles west of Southampton, in Southampton. People in Regents Park book us for all sorts of reasons, but it always starts the same way: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Regents Park is one of 40 places in Southampton we cover.
Running a fête for a church like Church of the Holy Trinity? A chip van draws people in. School fairs, for a school like Regents Park Community College, are a natural fit for a fish and chip van. Events in and around the New Forest National Park, within about 7 miles of Regents Park, frequently have rules about vehicles, ground and waste; we’ll follow the site’s requirements. With the sea within about 3 miles, we plan shelter from the wind for coastal events, and fish and chips sells well by the sea.
Wherever your event is in SO15, SO16 and SO17, we can fry fresh for your visitors, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your event is on May Road, Mill Road and York Road or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. Regents Park is on the A33 and A3057, which makes the journey straightforward. If your venue is just outside Regents Park, we also cover Shirley (1 mile east), Millbrook (1 mile south-west), Freemantle (1 mile south-east), Maybush (1 mile north-west) and Coxford (1 mile north). Within a short drive, we also cover Townhill Park (4 miles east), Midanbury (3 miles east), Thornhill (4 miles east), Chartwell Green (4 miles east), Harefield (4 miles east) and Itchen (3 miles east). Regents Park is among the bigger towns we cover in Southampton, with plenty of venues for events.

For event organisers in Regents Park
Hosting at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
How it works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we’ll adjust start times and pace. At midsummer, events in Regents Park stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Share the timings for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
Getting a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.

A chip van compared with other options
Most events have a burger van. Fish and chips adds variety. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Why Regents Park hosts choose us
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
Read how we price and the cost guide.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
These are the factors that matter most:
- Distance and any road charges
- The minimum booking
- Numbers
- The day of the week
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.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
- A photo of the parking spot
Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your event, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: use our quote form.
FAQs for Regents Park
Could you trade in St James' Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you serve near the sea around Regents Park?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Agree who removes waste
Put bins near the queue.
A sign at the entrance tells visitors hot food is available.
