About our party fish and chip van in Nursted
With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. The van parks, the fryers go on and the food goes out hot. For anniversaries and engagement parties and children’s parties, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, pie and chips and gravy and more.
In a small place like Nursted, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. Timings are planned around your party, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Questions from Nursted
What’s the nearest station to Nursted?
Petersfield station, about 1.8 miles north-west of the centre.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you cover Nursted?
Yes, we do. Nursted is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Let your neighbours know
- Count children separately
- Ensure the van can park legally
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.
