Boorley Green: your questions answered
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Which station is closest to Boorley Green?
Hedge End station, about 0.7 miles west of the centre.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Tell the council about the van.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
