About our party fish and chip van in Kitwood
The queue at the hatch gets people mixing, which is what a party is all about. Whether it is get-togethers with old friends and christenings and naming days, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, pie and chips and curry sauce and more.
In a small place like Kitwood, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Everything is fried fresh at your party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Send us a photo of the drive
- Make sure the van can park legally
Keep the queue away from the road if the van is on the drive.
Put the menu up by the van.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Kitwood questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of the Good Shepherd: 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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come to Kitwood?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Kitwood is within our area. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can the van come to our street party?
Frequently, yes. Start the road closure application early.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Why choose party fish and chip van in Kitwood?
It works at home: a drive or a firm spot near the garden will do.
These are some of the bookings we take in Kitwood and Hampshire:
- Engagement parties

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Ordering in for a crowd means long waits. A van fries on the spot. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.

Hosting a chip van party in Kitwood
Kitwood is about 5 miles south-west of Alton, in Hampshire. We take a fish and chip van for your party to drives, car parks, yards and venues around Kitwood and nearby villages. Kitwood is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 19 miles away.
Among the historic houses close to Kitwood are Bentworth Hall (3.8 miles north) and Hall Place (4.3 miles north). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules. The South Downs National Park is within about 8 miles of Kitwood, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
We cover parties in every part of SO24 and the streets around it. We also bring the van to parties in Gilbert Street (1 mile south-west), Charlwood (1 mile south-east), North Street (1 mile west), Monkwood (2 miles south) and Ropley (2 miles south-west). Further out, we also take the van to Basingstoke (12 miles north), Winchester (12 miles west), Fleet (15 miles north-east), Horndean (13 miles south), Alton (5 miles north-east) and Waterlooville (14 miles south).
Well-known places in the area include Alton Community Hospital (4.1 miles north-east) and Barton Castle (4.3 miles north-west). Open spaces near Kitwood include Shutts Copse and Red Hill.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
What happens on the day
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. Midsummer parties in Kitwood stay bright until about 9:25pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get an access check and a clear price.
- On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Share the timings for the day
- Clear the route for the van
How to get a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. Just fill in our quote form.

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
- 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
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
