How our fish and chip van hire works in Walhampton
The menu is short and classic: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Fewer choices means fresher food and shorter waits. On the menu are mushy peas, sausage and chips and curry sauce, and we are frequently booked for staff lunches and team days and visits to care homes and day centres.
In a rural place like Walhampton, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Walhampton questions
Which station is closest to Walhampton?
Walhampton has its own station: Lymington Town station.
Can you serve near the sea around Walhampton?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
It depends on numbers and timings. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
How much does a fish and chip van cost in Walhampton?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you cover Walhampton?
We do. Walhampton is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Plan bins near the queue
- Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
Fish and chips is best eaten straight away, so we fry to order as the queue moves.
Tables or benches nearby help people eat comfortably.
How it works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Late September evenings in Walhampton lose the light at about 7:10pm, and in December it is nearer 4:05pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Let us know the serving time
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Where the van can park in Walhampton
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you. What matters most:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
On the menu in Walhampton
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
- Chips
- Cod and chips
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
