How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. At midsummer, it’s light in Privett until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, tell us about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Give us a contact for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. 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.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Privett?
For a party that feels special but relaxed, a chip van is hard to beat. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why Privett hosts choose us
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies

Hosting a chip van party in Privett
Privett is about 5 miles north-west of Petersfield, in Hampshire. Give us the address of your party in Privett, and we will plan the route and the parking spot. We take the van to all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire. Our bookings stretch from Privett to Southampton (about 18 miles away).
After a christening at a church like Holy Trinity Church, a chip van at home is an easy way to feed family and friends. Nearby historic houses include Hinton Ampner House (5 miles west). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler. Privett is within about 6 miles of the South Downs National Park, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.

Privett questions
Is Privett close to London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Privett?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
What do children eat?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include them in your numbers.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
