Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Bashley
Which station is closest to Bashley?
The closest is New Milton station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you cover Bashley?
We do. We serve events in Bashley and across Hampshire. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so ask early.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
Events we cater in Bashley
It works at home: a drive or a firm spot near the garden will do.
The van suits big events and small ones. Common bookings include:
