FAQs for North Fareham
Which station is closest to North Fareham?
Fareham station, about 1.3 miles south-west of the centre.
We are gathering after a service at Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
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.
What is fish and chip van hire?
We arrive with the van, fry everything to order, and serve when you are ready to eat.
Can you feed a lot of people?
That depends on how many and how quickly. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
Which fish do you use?
Let us know which you’d prefer and we’ll confirm what we can offer.
Takeaway run or book a van?

For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Give us separate numbers for children
Keep the menu short and the queue moves quickly, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.
How the day works
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. By late September, sunset in North Fareham is around 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Let us know the serving time
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
Ask for a quote
