Party fish and chip van for your party in Eversley Centre
The van can park on a drive, a hardstanding or a firm lawn, with the hatch facing your guests. Typical bookings include christenings and naming days and street parties and neighbourhood events, serving cod and chips, gravy and curry sauce.
A country party near Eversley Centre is perfect for fish and chips: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Planning a party in Eversley Centre
Eversley Centre is about 2 miles west of Yateley, in Hampshire. For parties in Eversley Centre, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields in and around Eversley Centre. Eversley Centre is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Eversley Centre to Reading (about 8 miles away).
Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Church of St Mary, with fish and chips at home or in a hall afterwards. A green space like Shepperlands Farm Nature Reserve is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s.
This part of Hampshire takes in RG27, so your party can be anywhere in it. Whether your party is on Reading Road and Kingsley Road or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. Nearby, we also serve parties in Eversley Cross (1 mile east), Eversley (1 mile north-west), Finchampstead (1 mile north-east), Lower Common (1 mile west) and Yateley (2 miles east). Within a short drive, we also cover Basingstoke (12 miles south-west), Farnborough (6 miles south-east), Fleet (5 miles south), Aldershot (8 miles south-east), Alton (14 miles south) and Tadley (12 miles west).

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Hiring a hall and a caterer adds up. With a van, home becomes the venue. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why book with us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

FAQs for Eversley Centre
Could you trade in Shepperlands Farm Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Is grass a problem?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Mention the van in your application.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Have a back-up for special diets
When everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.
A few lights around the van look great.
