What you get with us
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Perfect for your party in High Cross
There is no kitchen to clear up afterwards, which makes the morning after much easier.
The van suits big events and small ones. Typical bookings include:
- Naming days and christenings
- Anniversaries and engagement parties
- Kids’ birthday parties
- Big birthdays
Guests arriving by train should know that Petersfield station is about 2.6 miles away.
What your quote should include
- What happens if the event is cancelled or moved
- What they can offer for dietary needs

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
