Questions from Catmore
Do you come out to small places like Catmore?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do you need power or water from us?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we’ll say what we need.
What do children eat?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Let us know numbers and ages.

Other occasions in Catmore
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
What affects the price in Catmore
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Any minimum charge
- Parking and the way in
- Distance and any road charges
- The number of meals
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.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The venue or postcode
- Expected numbers
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A photo of the parking spot
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. Just use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Put allergy details in writing
- Show us where the van would go
- Flag any coeliac guests
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
For event organisers in Catmore
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. For a late-May party in Catmore, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:25pm. 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 where the van can park and send a price.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
- Afterwards, we clear up and leave you to it.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van gives people a choice. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
