How our party fish and chip van works in Littleton
For children, there’s sausage and chips, so nobody needs a separate meal. Typical bookings include engagement parties and get-togethers with old friends, serving curry sauce, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
Country parties near Littleton suit a chip van: fried fresh and eaten outside. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
What happens on the day
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests typically gather round the hatch once service starts. Autumn and winter parties in Littleton get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Ordering in for a crowd means long waits. A van fries on the spot. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.

Winchester station, about 1.9 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Catherine?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.

Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
