Bringing the van to North Warnborough
North Warnborough is about 5 miles west of Fleet, in Hampshire. Whether your event is in the middle of North Warnborough or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. We take the van to all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Reading, about 13 miles away.
PTAs at schools such as Robert May's School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Churches such as All Saints Church rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by normally does.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which helps if some guests don’t eat pork. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Why us?
- No kitchen needed
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- A clear quote before you book
- Classic food your guests already know

What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether a minimum applies
- The menu and how many choices
- How long we serve
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Common questions in North Warnborough
We’re gathering after a service at All Saints Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which station is closest to North Warnborough?
The closest is Hook station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Does a chip van work for big events?
That depends on how many and how quickly. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Hampshire. Find your area.
About the food

Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.

Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Confirm allergies by email
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Count children separately
Once everyone is fed, we pack up, quietly and quickly.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
How the day works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. In North Warnborough, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
Ask for a quote
