About the food
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Party venues around Boyatt Wood
Boyatt Wood is about 1 mile north-west of Eastleigh, in Hampshire. For parties in Boyatt Wood, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields in and around Boyatt Wood. Boyatt Wood is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we bring the van.
A christening at St. Peter's Church followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan. Nearby historic houses include South Stoneham House (3.1 miles south). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler. The coast is within about 6 miles, so a chip van is a natural choice, and we always plan for wind.
This part of Hampshire takes in SO50 and SO53, and we can serve your party anywhere in it. Streets in the area include Lawn Road, Arthur Road and Darwin Road, and the van can serve a party on any of them with a suitable parking spot.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Check the street’s parking rules
- A picture of the parking spot helps
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Boyatt Wood
Can you serve after a service at St. Peter's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Could you trade in Lakeside Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
Do you need power or water from us?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, where the council allows it. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
Can the van park on grass?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
For a party that feels special but relaxed, a chip van is hard to beat. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
What you get with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Bookings across Hampshire, including Boyatt Wood
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

See our prices page and the cost guide.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
