Fresh fish and chips in Deane
Deane: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Deane?
The closest is Overton station, roughly 2 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you park at our house?
That depends on the space and the route in. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we will tell you honestly.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, Hampshire included. Find your area.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
About our party fish and chip van in Deane
The van can park on a drive, a hardstanding or a firm lawn, with the hatch facing your guests. Popular choices include pie and chips, cod and chips and gravy, and we are regularly asked to cater children’s parties and reunions and family get-togethers.
Country parties near Deane suit a chip van: fried fresh and eaten outside. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A buffet is easy but forgettable. A chip van gives guests something to talk about. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Numbers
- The menu and how many choices
- Any minimum charge
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. A summer party in Deane stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
