A chip van compared with other options
A buffet is easy but forgettable. A chip van gives guests something to talk about. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

Step by step
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. In Millbrook, 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.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.

A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Flat, firm ground for the van

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Millbrook
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
What’s the nearest station to Millbrook?
The closest is Millbrook (Hants) station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can the van park on my drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll tell you honestly.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
