Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which suits guests who do not eat pork. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Quick service from the hatch
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- No kitchen needed

Fish and chip van hire in Winchfield, cooked to order
A fish and chip van works almost anywhere the van can park: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field. We serve cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for work Christmas parties and weddings and evening receptions.
Somewhere like Winchfield, a yard or firm field frequently works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Winchfield from London?

Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What food do you serve?
