A chip van near Phoenix Green
Party fish and chip van in Phoenix Green, cooked to order
A chip van works for birthdays, garden parties and family celebrations. It’s food every generation enjoys. Whether it’s big birthdays and retirement parties, we can cook gravy, mushy peas and sausage and chips for your guests.
In a small place like Phoenix Green, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Common questions in Phoenix Green
Which station is closest to Phoenix Green?
The closest is Winchfield station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Is Phoenix Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What do you need at the house?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer weekends go first. Contact us with your date.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Access and parking
- Your choice of menu
- Any minimum charge
- How long we serve
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.

- Expected numbers

How it works
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. At midsummer, it’s light in Phoenix Green until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
