Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- A picture of the parking spot helps
- Confirm allergies by email
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
After service, we pack up.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Common questions in Pennington
Can you serve near the sea around Pennington?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Can you park at our house?
It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we will advise.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
