Fish and chip van hire in Blashford, cooked to order
A fish and chip van works almost anywhere the van can park: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field. Popular choices include haddock and chips, gravy and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for summer garden parties and visits to care homes and day centres.
Somewhere as small as Blashford, a field, yard or drive is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we will plan for them, and firm, dry ground is the key. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
What affects the price in Blashford
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Cod, haddock or both
- Parking and the way in
- How far we travel
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your event is.

FAQs for Blashford
Do you come out to small places like Blashford?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What is fish and chip van hire?
The van comes to you, cook fresh on site, and serve when you’re ready to eat.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
Popular choices
- Cod and chips
- Chips
- Gravy
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Pie and chips
Why choose a fish and chip van in Blashford?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks right there, so the batter is still crisp. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
