Fish and chip van hire in Bradley, fried fresh
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather doesn’t stop us. It is a dependable choice for events in any season. We serve cod and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and we’re frequently booked for milestone birthday parties and staff lunches and team days.
In a small place like Bradley, the van often parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters more than anything. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
What else we do in Bradley
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Plan bins near the queue
- A short menu helps everyone
Fish and chips is best eaten right away, so we cook as people come up to the hatch.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Bringing the van to Bradley
Bradley is about 5 miles west of Alton, in Hampshire. Whether your event is in the middle of Bradley or on the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. Bradley is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Bradley to Reading (20 miles away).
Churches such as Church of All Saints rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by normally does.

Nearby you’ll also find Barton Castle (2.3 miles south-west) and Alton Community Hospital (4.8 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include King's Hill.

FAQs for Bradley
Is Bradley close to London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London.
Is Bradley too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Do you come to Bradley?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Bradley is within our area and the rest of Hampshire. To check your date, use our quote form.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
What affects the price in Bradley
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How long we serve
- How far we travel
- How easy the site is to reach
- The menu and how many choices
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the van would park
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, fill in our quote form.
