Planning an event in Little Somborne?
What happens on the day
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests generally gather round the hatch once service starts. A summer party in Little Somborne 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.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Common questions in Little Somborne
We are gathering after a service at All Saints Church: 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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Little Somborne too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van gives people a choice. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
What you get with us
- All the chip-shop extras
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Something for guests to gather round
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies

Takeaway run or book a van?
