Common questions in Plaitford Green

Is Plaitford Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Can a friend deal with you?
Of course. We can work with whoever is helping you.

- Hot food handed straight over
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- We cover Plaitford Green and the whole of Hampshire
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Allow a little extra
- Choose a friend to be our contact
- Keep the serving time flexible
- Check the hall has an urn
Seats for older guests near the hall or house help.
A tea table run by a friend is a comfort.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A short walk from the party
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Gravy

What else we do in Plaitford Green
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
