Fish and chip van hire for Anna Valley events
How our fish and chip van hire works in Anna Valley
Few meals are as universally loved as fish and chips. That’s why a van works for so many kinds of event. We serve curry sauce, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater staff lunches and team days and wakes and celebrations of life.
In a hamlet or village like Anna Valley, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Your questions about a fish and chip van in Anna Valley
Which station is closest to Anna Valley?
The closest is Andover station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Can you serve after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
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.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
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’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
How it works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Late September evenings in Anna Valley lose the light at about 7:10pm, and in December it is nearer 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Where the van can park in Anna Valley
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you. What matters most:
- A spot near your guests
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
