About the food
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

How it works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your event. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Segensworth, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
