About the food
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Common questions in Headbourne Worthy
Which station is closest to Headbourne Worthy?
The closest is Winchester station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
Is Headbourne Worthy too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
