Fresh fish and chips in Hipley
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van gives people a choice. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Why us?
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Events in Hipley and across Hampshire
- Classic food your guests already know
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
Take a look at how we price and what a fish and chip van costs.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The number of meals
- How far we travel
- The menu and how many choices
- The length of service
Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The address or venue name

We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can use our quote form.
Hipley: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Hipley?
Portchester station, about 3.6 miles south of the centre.
Is Hipley too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Hipley.
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.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we will confirm what we need.
Can you park at our house?
Often, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send a photo of the drive and the way in.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
How early do summer dates go?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so ask early.
Food your guests will love
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
The process
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your party. At midsummer, it is light in Hipley until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
How to get a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
- 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
