How our party fish and chip van works in North Hayling
We park on the drive or a firm spot near the party, with the serving hatch towards the garden. Typical bookings include street parties and neighbourhood events and big birthdays, serving curry sauce, gravy and cod and chips.
Country parties near North Hayling suit a chip van: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

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 solves that by cooking on site.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Autumn and winter parties in North Hayling get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get an access check and a clear price.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
- Afterwards, we clear up and leave you to it.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Have a level parking spot ready
How to get a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.

North Hayling parties: what to know
North Hayling is about 3 miles south of Havant, in Hampshire. Parties in North Hayling are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. North Hayling is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from North Hayling to Southampton (20 miles away).
A christening at Church of St Peter followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan. Historic houses near North Hayling include Warblington Castle (1.5 miles north). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules. The coast is within about 4 miles, so a chip van is a natural choice.

We can serve a party on streets such as Church Lane, St Peter's Road and St Peter's Avenue or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van.
