How our fish and chip van for events works in Warblington
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, so we need little help from busy volunteers. Whether it is music and food festivals and feeding event crew, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, curry sauce and sausage and chips for your guests.
Near Warblington, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a chip van is a welcome sight. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Other occasions in Warblington
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What happens on the day
Changes on the day are fine: we will adjust start times and pace to suit your event. December events in Warblington lose the light at about 4:00pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there is light until about 8:55pm.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Name one person we can call on the day

Common questions in Warblington
What’s the nearest station to Warblington?
The closest is Warblington station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Could you trade in Eames Farm?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Hampshire. Find your area.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What a fish and chip van costs
