How our party fish and chip van works in Selborne
A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. Typical bookings include retirement celebrations and reunions and family get-togethers, serving haddock and chips, pie and chips and curry sauce.
In a small place like Selborne, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Everything is fried fresh at your party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Let your neighbours know
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Send us a picture of the drive
Keep the queue away from the road.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. At midsummer, it’s light in Selborne until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

- We check where the van can park and send a price.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- We serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.

FAQs for Selborne
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Selborne close to London?
About 46 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
