Party fish and chip van for your party in Soldridge
For children, there is sausage and chips, so one van feeds the whole party. Typical bookings include christenings and naming days and family parties with children, serving gravy, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
In a small place like Soldridge, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Where the van can park in Soldridge
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:

Soldridge is about 5 miles south-west of Alton, in Hampshire. Soldridge is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Soldridge is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 19 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Bentworth Hall (2.8 miles north) and Hall Place (3.2 miles north). If you are hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on catering vans first.

A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Soldridge: your questions answered
Is Soldridge 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.
How far is Soldridge from London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
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 to keep the queue moving.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. Sunset in Soldridge drops to about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
