How our fish and chip van hire works in Buriton
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a drive, a car park, a yard, a showground or a firm lawn. Typical bookings include summer garden parties and milestone birthday parties, with haddock and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce.
In a rural place like Buriton, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Let us know about access and ground conditions. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
Bins and napkins near the hatch make life easier.
Let everyone know when the food is ready.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Light matters for evening service: in Buriton, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

For event organisers in Buriton

The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

FAQs for Buriton
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?

Petersfield station, about 2.1 miles north of the centre.
How does fish and chip van hire work?
The van comes to you, fry everything to order, and serve when you’re ready to eat.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Buriton.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
