Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Show us where the van would go
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
After service, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Sunset in Brook is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. After dark, light the area around the van.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check access for the van and send a quote.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Share the timings for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand

Questions from Brook
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Brook?
The closest is Ashurst New Forest station, roughly 4.2 miles away.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so ask early.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Parties in Brook: homes, halls and local tips
Brook is about 4 miles west of Totton, in Hampshire. We cover Brook as standard, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. We take the van to all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Brook to Southampton (about 9 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Landford Manor (4.1 miles north). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler. The New Forest National Park is within about 4 miles of Brook, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
Parties anywhere in SO43 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many guests.

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Brook?
Next to a DIY barbecue, a chip van means nobody is stuck at the grill. 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’ll send you a quote.
