Party fish and chip van in Exton
Party fish and chip van for your party in Exton
Guests who don’t know each other end up chatting in the queue, which is what a party is all about. Whether it is engagement parties and retirement celebrations, we can cook sausage and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips.
In a small place like Exton, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll plan the route. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Where the van can park in Exton
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Questions from Exton
How far is Exton from London?
About 57 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips

Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Planning a party in Exton
Exton is about 7 miles north-west of Horndean, in Hampshire. From the centre of Exton to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. Exton is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 12 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Hinton Ampner House (4.2 miles north). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler.
Here we cover the SO32 postcode area. That could mean a party at a home on Shoe Lane, Church Lane and Beacon Hill Lane or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. For parties just outside Exton, we cover Corhampton (1 mile south), Meonstoke (1 mile south), Brockbridge (1 mile south), Droxford (2 miles south) and Soberton (3 miles south). Larger places within reach include Winchester (10 miles north-west), Gosport (12 miles south), Havant (10 miles south-east), Eastleigh (10 miles west), Fareham (10 miles south) and Horndean (7 miles south-east).
The countryside around Exton includes St Clair's Meadow and Beacon Hill.
- Local pubs include The Shoe Inn (less than half a mile south-west)
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Autumn and winter parties in Exton get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- You get an access check and a clear price.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- We serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Give us a contact for the day
- Share the timings for the day

What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Service time
- The number of meals
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Expected numbers
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will check availability straight away.
Events we cater in Exton
There is no kitchen to clear up afterwards, which makes the morning after much easier.
The van suits big events and small ones. Common bookings include:
- Family celebrations after a christening
- Street parties
- Kids’ birthday parties
- Summer garden parties
If the day starts at Church of St Peter and St Paul, the van can be ready at the house when everyone arrives.
Before you book anyone
- A clear list of what’s included
- The minimum number of meals or minimum spend
- Whether VAT is included
- What the van needs: space, access, power
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
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.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Put bins and napkins near the hatch.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
