How our fish and chip van hire works in Quarley
The queue at the hatch is part of the fun. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. Typical bookings include birthday celebrations and company team days, with mushy peas, gravy and cod and chips.
In a small place like Quarley, the van often parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we will plan for them, and firm, dry ground is the key. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Planning a chip van in Quarley
Quarley is about 6 miles west of Andover, in Hampshire. Across the SP11 area, we’ll come to your venue, home or workplace. We cover all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 21 miles away.
If you’re gathering after a service at a church like Church of St Michael, a nearby hall car park or drive suits the van.
Wherever your event is in SP11, we can fry fresh for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Park Lane and Etwall, and the van can serve an event on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Nearby, we also serve events in Fox (1 mile east), Grateley (1 mile south), Amport (2 miles east), Thruxton (2 miles north-east) and Palestine (2 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Andover (6 miles east), Romsey (15 miles south), Hyde (15 miles south-east), Tidworth (4 miles north-west), Weeke (15 miles south-east) and Stanmore (15 miles south-east).

Organising for someone else?
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

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 suits guests who don’t eat pork. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
Why us?
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Classic food your guests already know

Questions from Quarley
Do you come out to small places like Quarley?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Michael: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can the van come to Quarley?
We do. We serve events in Quarley and across Hampshire. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
