How our fish and chip van hire works in East Anton
Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so every portion goes out hot and crisp. Typical bookings include fish and chip days at care homes and village fêtes and school fairs, serving pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
There may be a hall or club near East Anton if the drive is small; any can work for the van, with the owner’s agreement. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- How far we travel
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Parking and the way in
- The length of service
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

- Your date and serving time
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the event is
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.

Questions from East Anton
We are gathering after a service at St Paul Church Centre: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which station is closest to East Anton?
The closest is Andover station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including East Anton.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
