How our fish and chip van hire works in Clanville
There’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. It needs a level, firm spot to park and a clear way in, which suits drives, yards, car parks and firm lawns. For garden parties and summer get-togethers and staff thank-you lunches, we can cook haddock and chips, curry sauce and pie and chips and more.

Questions from Clanville
Is Clanville too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Clanville close to London?
About 65 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
It depends on numbers and timings. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Which fish do you use?
Both are on our menu; we will agree the choice when we quote.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

How we price a fish and chip van
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The minimum booking
- How far we travel
- The menu and how many choices
- The number of meals
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Where the van would park
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of where the van would go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Occasions we serve in Clanville
It is ideal for relaxed, sociable occasions, with people coming up to the hatch as they please.
Almost any gathering works with a fish and chip van. In Clanville, people book us for occasions like:
- Gatherings after a funeral
- Fish and chip days at care homes
- Staff lunches and team days

For anyone arriving by rail, Andover station, about 3.2 miles south-east, is the nearest station.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
The process
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving.
