Fish and chip van hire in Hundred Acres, cooked to order
There’s something generous about fish and chips: big pieces of fish, crisp batter and a mountain of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. Popular choices include mushy peas, pie and chips and gravy, and typical bookings are for company team days and festive get-togethers.
In a hamlet or village like Hundred Acres, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

- Lighting nearby for evening events

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

FAQs for Hundred Acres
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Hundred Acres?
Fareham station, about 3.5 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Does a chip van work for big events?
Frequently, yes. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will tell you honestly how service will work.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- A short menu helps everyone
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Tell us how many children are coming
After service, we pack up, leaving the pitch tidy.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and there is nothing warming on a chilly day. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
