Planning a party in Lower Farringdon
Lower Farringdon is about 3 miles south of Alton, in Hampshire. We take a fish and chip van for your party to drives, car parks, yards and venues around Lower Farringdon and nearby villages. We take the van to 683 places in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Lower Farringdon to Guildford (about 20 miles away).
After a christening at a church like Church of All Saints, a chip van at home is an easy way to feed family and friends. Among the historic houses close to Lower Farringdon are Bentworth Hall (3.5 miles north-west) and Hall Place (4 miles north-west). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler. Lower Farringdon is within about 8 miles of the South Downs National Park, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
Anywhere in GU34, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Gosport Road, Brightstone Lane and Shirnall Meadow, and the van can serve a party on any of them with a suitable parking spot.

How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Sunset in Lower Farringdon drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 4:00pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- You get an access check and a clear price.
- We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
- Afterwards, we clear up and leave you to it.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van

Do you come out to small places like Lower Farringdon?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
