A chip van near West Tisted
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
About our fish and chip van hire in West Tisted
We keep the menu to the classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. For big birthdays and visits to care homes and day centres, we can cook cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
In a rural place like West Tisted, 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 be straight with you about what we can do.

West Tisted questions
Do you come out to small places like West Tisted?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary Magdalene: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you cover West Tisted?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including West Tisted and the rest of Hampshire. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

How the day works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your event. Light matters for evening service: around West Tisted, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

About the food
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Barbecues cook in batches, and someone has to stand over the grill. With a van, nobody misses the event. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
