About our party fish and chip van in Odiham
Food is fried to order, so it is hot and crisp, not left out on a table for hours. Typical bookings include street parties and reunions and family get-togethers, with curry sauce, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
Around Odiham, a garden and a drive is all you need. The van fits right in. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Can’t 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 nobody has to miss the party.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street

- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
When everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.

Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve after a service at All Saints Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.

What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your party and we’ll send a quote.
Do you need power or water from us?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Tell us what’s available and we will take it from there.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The date and time of year
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Access and parking
- How long we serve
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
