DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
From the hatch
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Gravy
- Pie and chips

Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Denvilles
Can you serve after a service at St Thomas à Becket Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you serve near the sea around Denvilles?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What affects the price in Denvilles
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How long we serve

Planning a party in Denvilles
Denvilles is about 1 mile south-east of Havant, in Hampshire. Give us the address of your party in Denvilles, and we will plan access and set-up. We serve 683 places across Hampshire. We serve events right across the region, from Denvilles to Southampton (19 miles away).
Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as St Thomas à Becket Church or St Albans Church, with fish and chips at home or in a hall afterwards. Within reach of Denvilles are historic houses such as Warblington Castle (0.7 miles south). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules. The coast is within about 6 miles, so a chip van is a natural choice, and we always plan for wind.
For parties in PO9 and PO10, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. We can serve a party on streets such as New Lane, Pook Lane and Elder Road, as long as there is somewhere for the van. Close by, we cover parties in Warblington (1 mile south), Havant (1 mile north-west), Emsworth (1 mile east), Langstone (1 mile south-west) and Leigh Park (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also take the van to Gosport (9 miles south-west), Fareham (10 miles west), Horndean (4 miles north-west), Hedge End (15 miles west), Waterlooville (4 miles north-west) and Petersfield (10 miles north).
Other landmarks nearby include Warblington Castle (0.7 miles south) and Havant War Memorial Hospital (1 mile west). Green spaces nearby include Brook Meadow (Emsworth).
- Schools near Denvilles include Fairfield Infant School (0.6 miles west)
- Pubs nearby include Six Bells pub (0.7 miles west)
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. At midsummer, it is light in Denvilles until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
