Party fish and chip van for Lee events
How our party fish and chip van works in Lee
For children, there’s sausage and chips, so nobody needs a separate meal. Whether it’s reunions and family get-togethers and naming days and christenings, we can cook curry sauce, gravy and sausage and chips.
In a small place like Lee, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you are 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 saves passing messages back and forth.
What affects the price in Lee
These are the factors that matter most:
- Access and parking
- Distance and any road charges
- The date and time of year
- The minimum booking
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where the event is
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, use our quote form.
The process
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. A summer party in Lee stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Give us a contact for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready

FAQs for Lee
Which station is closest to Lee?
Romsey station, about 2.4 miles north of the centre.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Will the van fit on our drive?
Usually, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send a photo of the drive and the way in.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
How early do summer dates go?
Summer weekends go first. Contact us with your date.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
For a relaxed celebration, a fish and chip van is a great choice in Lee. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
