Fish and chip van for events for your event in Sarisbury Green
When there is hot food, people stay longer, which is good for every other stall. For church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and crew and volunteer catering, we will put together a menu of chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
For events in a place like Sarisbury Green, one hot-food trader most people like makes life easy. A chip van does that. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Most events have a burger van. Fish and chips adds variety. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Sarisbury Green
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Can you come to a school fair in Sarisbury Green?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Can the van park on grass?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you come to a school event?
Yes, once the school agrees where the van goes. Send us the date and the spot.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Can you cater for helpers?
We can. Give us numbers and a time.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Agree how we’ll be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Display allergens for each stall
Plan where the queue forms, especially near rides and games.
Let visitors know there is a chip van.

Events in and around the New Forest National Park, within about 8 miles of Sarisbury Green, often have rules about vehicles, ground and waste; we work to the site rules. With the sea within about a mile, we plan shelter from the wind for coastal events, and fish and chips sells well by the sea.

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The menu and how many choices
- How many people are eating
- Access and parking
- The date and time of year
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. 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
To check availability and price, we need:
- The venue or postcode
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of the space and the way in
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- Space for a queue away from paths
- What’s available on the pitch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
