Where the van can park in Sarisbury Green
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Organising a club, school or community event in Sarisbury Green? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Sarisbury Green is about 1 mile west of Locks Heath, in Hampshire. For an event in Sarisbury Green, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass in and around Sarisbury Green. We cover 683 places in Hampshire. Our bookings stretch from Sarisbury Green to Southampton (about 6 miles away).
If you’re gathering after a service at a church like Church of St Paul, a nearby hall car park or drive suits the van.

Sarisbury Green: your questions answered
Can the van park in Hamble Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Paul?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
