The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Midsummer parties in Farleigh Wallop stay bright until about 9:25pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:10pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Why book with us
- Hot food handed straight over
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Something for guests to gather round
- Bookings across Hampshire, including Farleigh Wallop
