Party fish and chip van in Hartley Wintney, cooked to order
You do not need to hire a hall: the van makes your home the party venue. For reunions and family get-togethers and family parties with children, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, pie and chips and cod and chips.
For a party in Hartley Wintney, home is frequently the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the lane, and we’ll do the rest. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Autumn and winter parties in Hartley Wintney get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.

- We check the route in and send a price.

Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Let your neighbours know
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
It’s worth telling the neighbours.
Plan cover in case of showers.
Common questions in Hartley Wintney
Can you serve after a service at St John's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.

Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.

When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
