How our party fish and chip van works in Ibsley
Food is fried to order, so it’s hot and crisp, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. For garden parties and summer get-togethers and leaving parties, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, pie and chips and gravy.
A country party near Ibsley is perfect for fish and chips: fried fresh and eaten outside. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
What affects the price in Ibsley
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Access and parking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Service time
- How many people are eating
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A photo of the space and the way in
The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Tell us about your party in Ibsley, and we will check the date and send a price.

Ibsley questions
Do you come out to small places like Ibsley?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Martins: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can the van park on my drive?
Frequently, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send a picture of the drive and the way in.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
What do children eat?
Sausage and chips, usually. Tell us how many children to expect.
Do you cover Ibsley?
We do. Ibsley is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Send allergies to us in writing
After service, we pack up.
A few lights around the van look great.
