Food your guests will love

Haddock and chips

Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Cod and chips

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.

About our fish and chip van hire in Milford on Sea

Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. We serve haddock and chips, cod and chips and gravy, and we are frequently booked for festive get-togethers and evening wedding food.

A place like Milford on Sea often has a hall, a club or a pub car park nearby; the van can work at any of them, with permission. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Diets, allergies and planning

We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

A short menu helps everyone
Put bins and napkins by the van
Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
Tell us how many children are coming

After service, we pack up, leaving the pitch tidy.

Takeaway run or book a van?

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot, so the batter is still crisp. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Choosing a fish and chip van

Milford on Sea questions

What’s the nearest station to Milford on Sea?

Lymington Town station, about 3.4 miles north-east of the centre.

What about events near the coast?

Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.

How quickly can you serve everyone?

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.

Is the food cooked at the event?

Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.

Where do you take the van?

We take the van across London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.

What can guests choose from?

Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

Can we choose cod or haddock?

We serve cod and haddock; tell us which you’d like for your event.

What if we only have street parking?

That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.

How it works

There is very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. The frying and serving are down to us. By late September, sunset in Milford on Sea is around 7:10pm, and in December it is nearer 4:05pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
