For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Peartree Green? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. In Peartree Green, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Peartree Green is within about 7 miles of the New Forest National Park, and some venues there have rules about vehicles on site. Ask your venue about vehicle access. Peartree Green is within about 2 miles of the sea, so fish and chips feels right at home here. Sea breezes can be strong, so we think about where the queue will stand.

Peartree Green: your questions answered
Can the van park in Houndwell Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How far is Peartree Green from London?
About 69 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Cod or haddock?
We serve cod and haddock; tell us which you’d like for your event.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Send allergies to us in writing
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We park, set up, fry and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and there is nothing warming on a chilly day. Fish and chips is fried to order and served hot. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
Why us?
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Hot food handed straight over
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- A clear quote before booking

Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Gravy
- Pie and chips
- Chips
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, 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.
