Choosing a fish and chip van

Party fish and chip van in Buriton, cooked to order

Sausage and chips covers the children and anyone who doesn’t want fish, so nobody needs a separate meal. On the menu are cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for milestone birthdays and neighbourhood get-togethers.

Near Buriton, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Common questions in Buriton

Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.

What’s the nearest station to Buriton?

The closest is Petersfield station, roughly 2.1 miles away.

Do you clear up afterwards?

The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

Do you bring everything you need?

Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.

How quickly can you serve everyone?

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.

What happens if it rains?

The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

What if we only have street parking?

It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

How far ahead should we book a party?

Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.

Allergies and dietary needs

Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:

Arrange an alternative if needed
Count children separately
Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
Send allergies to us in writing

We park on the agreed spot and set up, then serve as guests come up.

A few lights around the van look great.

A chip van compared with other options

A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.
