Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Send us a picture of the drive
Put bins and napkins near the hatch.
A few lights around the van look great.
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.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Service time
- Any minimum charge
- How easy the site is to reach
- Cod, haddock or both
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Expected numbers
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The venue or postcode
Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
About the food
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
What happens on the day
Changes on the day are fine: we will adjust start times and pace. In Little London, a June party has light until about 9:25pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:10pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
How to get a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.

Common questions in Little London
Is Little London close to London?
About 61 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Little London?
Andover station, about 2.9 miles south-west of the centre.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
A chip van compared with other options
Ordering in for a crowd means long waits. The van cooks right there. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.
What you get with us
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Bookings across Hampshire, including Little London
- A menu almost everyone likes
- All the chip-shop extras
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
