Why choose a fish and chip van in Braishfield?
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and usually costs more per head. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park. The cost per head normally 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.

Common questions in Braishfield
Can you serve after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.

The closest is Romsey station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
Can the van come to Braishfield?
Yes, we do. Braishfield is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.

The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
When do you arrive?

Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Which fish do you use?

Can you cater for allergies?

Takeaway run or book a van?
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 usually the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
