Planners, venues and businesses

Fish and chip van hire in Ibsley, fried fresh
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field. Typical bookings include milestone birthday parties and weddings, especially the evening, serving sausage and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.
Somewhere as small as Ibsley, a field, yard or drive is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, dry ground is the key. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Distance and any road charges
- Access and parking
- The length of service
- The date and time of year
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Expected numbers

What happens on the day
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Ibsley, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 4:05pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Clear the route for the van

Planning help
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your event is.
What you get with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Hot food handed straight over
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking

Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
