Common questions in Tourner Bury
Do you come out to small places like Tourner Bury?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Can the van come to our fair?
Yes, where the date suits. Get in touch with the details.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
Put bins near the queue.
Plan vehicle access before visitors arrive.
Step by step
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your event. Summer events in Tourner Bury have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Working with your venue
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
A chip van compared with other options
At larger events, a van adds to the mix. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
What you get with us
- A clear quote before you book
- Bookings across Hampshire, including Tourner Bury
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
See our pricing and the cost guide.
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.
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.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
