Party fish and chip van for Empshott events
Party fish and chip van in Empshott, cooked to order
A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. Typical bookings include christenings and naming days and engagement parties, serving pie and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
In a small place like Empshott, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.

If the day starts at Church of the Holy Rood, the van can be ready at the house when everyone arrives. The South Downs National Park is within about 6 miles of Empshott, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
Here we cover the GU33 postcode area, so your party can be anywhere in it. From Mill Lane and Church Lane or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the van to you. If your venue is just outside Empshott, we also cover Lower Green (1 mile south-west), Hawkley (2 miles south), Selborne (2 miles north-west), Newton Valence (2 miles west) and Oakshott (2 miles south-west).

Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A short walk from the party
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce

- Gravy
- Pie and chips
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The length of service
- The menu and how many choices
- Whether a minimum applies
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
Details that help
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the parking spot
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Allergies and diets you know about
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.
