A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van gives people a choice. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.

How the day works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. A summer party in Bordon stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
