Fish and chip van hire in Wigley, cooked to order
The menu is short and classic: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. We’re frequently asked to cater garden parties and summer get-togethers and staff lunches and team days, serving haddock and chips, pie and chips and curry sauce.
In a rural place like Wigley, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Let us know about access and ground conditions. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Wigley
Which station is closest to Wigley?
Totton station, about 3.4 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Does a chip van work for big events?
It depends on numbers and timings. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
What affects the price in Wigley
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The menu and how many choices
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The length of service
- The number of meals
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and serving time
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The venue or postcode
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up cooking all afternoon. With a van, the host gets to enjoy the day. There is 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.
Why book with us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- We cover Wigley and the whole of Hampshire
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.

Wigley is about 3 miles north-west of Totton, in Hampshire.

We take the van to 683 places in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 7 miles away.
Coming by train? The nearest station is Totton station, about 3.4 miles south-east. PTAs at schools such as Embley frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Wigley is within about 6 miles of the New Forest National Park, and some venues there have rules about vehicles on site. Ask your venue about vehicle access.

Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- A short menu helps everyone
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Confirm allergies by email
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we arrive well before service. If timings shift, we adapt.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.
How it works
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Evenings in Wigley stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; once it’s dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
