Looking after everyone

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
Count children separately
A picture of the parking spot helps
Ask about dietary needs on the invitation

Let the neighbours know the van is coming.

A few lights around the van look great.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Is a fish and chip van right for your party?

A buffet is easy but forgettable. A chip van gives guests something to talk about. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Alverstoke

What’s the nearest station to Alverstoke?

Portsmouth Harbour station, about 2.1 miles north-east of the centre.

Can you serve after a service at The Little Church?

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.

Can you park on the road outside?

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.

Do we need to provide anything?

A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Mention power and water and we’ll confirm the rest.

Can the van park on my drive?

Often, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send us a photo and tell us about gates and branches.

Do you do street parties?

Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Mention the van in your application.

Can you go on a lawn or field?

Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

When do you arrive?

That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

The process

It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with frying and serving. A summer party in Alverstoke stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
