Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Count children separately
- Show us where the van would go
- Confirm allergies by email
We park on the agreed spot and set up, and serve as the party carries on.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Bridgemary
We are gathering after a service at St Matthew's: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you serve near the sea around Bridgemary?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.
What do children eat?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A short walk from the party
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Bridgemary is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Bridgemary to Southampton (12 miles away).
If guests are coming by rail, Fareham station, about 2.5 miles north-west, is the nearest station. Near the coast, within about 5 miles, a fish and chip van feels like a trip to the seaside, and we always plan for wind.

Your party could be at a house on Camp Road, Copse Lane and Agnew Road or the roads around them, wherever the van can park.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Distance and any road charges
- Service time
- The date and time of year
- The menu and how many choices
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the event is
- Expected numbers
- The date and time of the event
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
