Fish and chip van for events in Thruxton, cooked to order
Everything is cooked as people come up, so it is hot and crisp. We are frequently asked to cater village fêtes and summer fairs and church fêtes and fish and chip suppers, with mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
A fête near Thruxton might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- Parking and the way in
- How long we serve
- Any minimum charge
- How far we travel
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. We set everything out in your quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A photo of the parking spot
- Anything awkward about the way in
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: tell us the basics about your event, and we will quote on that. Start when you’re ready: fill in our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Winter fairs in Thruxton are dark by about 4:00pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there is light until about 8:55pm.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Common questions in Thruxton
Which station is closest to Thruxton?
The closest is Grateley station, roughly 3.2 miles away.
Is Thruxton close to London?
About 67 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
What can visitors choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
