About our fish and chip van for events in Salters Heath
Country shows and field events suit a van, as long as there is a firm route onto the pitch. On the menu are sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for country shows and sports days.
A fête near Salters Heath might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we will plan for it. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
One good hot-food van can be enough at a smaller event. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Display allergens for each stall
We set up before visitors arrive.
Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Distance and any road charges
- Access and parking
- The day of the week
- The number of meals
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of where the van would go
- The address or venue name
- The spot you have in mind for the van

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Common questions in Salters Heath
What’s the nearest station to Salters Heath?
Bramley (Hants) station, about 2.7 miles east of the centre.
Is Salters Heath too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What can visitors choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we’ll explain the options.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes. Tell us how many and when, and we will quote.

- A queue area clear of rides and games
- Agreement from the site for a catering van

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
