Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Cod, haddock or both
- How easy the site is to reach
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The day of the week
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Each quote is put together for your event. Start with your date, and we will check availability right away.
How our fish and chip van for events works in Winklebury
A hot-food van gives families a reason to stay longer. Popular choices include haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater horse and dog shows and sports club events and race days.
For events in a place like Winklebury, one hot-food trader most people like makes life easy. A chip van does that. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. December events in Winklebury lose the light at about 4:00pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
How to get a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.

How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.

Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.

Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Do you do school fairs and sports days?
Yes, once the school agrees where the van goes. Tell us the date and where the van would park.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for visitors.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
If we are feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
A sign at the entrance tells visitors hot food is available.

For anyone arriving by train, Basingstoke station is about 1.5 miles away. School fairs, for a school like Castle Hill Infant School, are a natural fit for a fish and chip van.
Wherever your event is in RG23, RG22 and RG24, we can fry fresh for your visitors.

For event organisers in Winklebury
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a stall visitors will queue for, a fish and chip van is a great choice in Winklebury. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

Should I sort the food myself?
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 you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
