A chip van near Over Wallop
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

About our fish and chip van hire in Over Wallop
Keep it simple, or plan every detail: open service, or food at a fixed time. We will recommend what fits. We are often asked to cater big birthdays and staff thank-you lunches, serving sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.
In a hamlet or village like Over Wallop, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Bringing the van to Over Wallop
Over Wallop is about 7 miles south-west of Andover, in Hampshire. People in Over Wallop book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Over Wallop is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover. Our bookings stretch from Over Wallop to Southampton (18 miles away).
Coming by train? Grateley station is about 2 miles away. For a christening or celebration after a service at a church such as Church of St Peter, the van can serve at a hall or home nearby.
Wherever your event is in SO20, we can fry fresh for your guests. We can serve an event on streets such as Station Road, King Lane and King Lane Cottages or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. We also bring the van to events in Middle Wallop (1 mile south-east), Kentsboro (2 miles north-east), Nether Wallop (2 miles south-east), Fox (3 miles north) and Amport (4 miles north). Further out, we also take the van to Winchester (13 miles south-east), Andover (7 miles north-east), Chandler's Ford (14 miles south-east), Romsey (12 miles south-east), Hyde (13 miles south-east) and Tidworth (7 miles north-west).
Open spaces near Over Wallop include Winterbourne Downs RSPB reserve and Quarley Hill.
- Pubs nearby include The White Hart Inn (under half a mile south-west)
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

FAQs for Over Wallop
What’s the nearest station to Over Wallop?
The closest is Grateley station, roughly 2 miles away.
Is Over Wallop too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
That depends on how many and how quickly. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you cover Over Wallop?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Over Wallop is within our area and the rest of Hampshire. For a quote, use our quote form.
A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Perfect for your event in Over Wallop
Hot food on a cold or wet day is hard to beat, and the cooking carries on inside the van whatever the weather.
If you’re planning any of these, we can help:
- Staff lunches and team days
- Evening wedding food
- Garden parties and summer get-togethers

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and typically costs more per head. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
