Party fish and chip van in Tadley, cooked to order
You do not need to hire a hall: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. On the menu are mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for summer garden parties and reunions and family get-togethers.
In Tadley, home and the local hall are popular party venues. The van works at both, as long as there’s a spot outside. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
FAQs for Tadley
Is Tadley close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Tadley?
Midgham station, about 3.3 miles north-west of the centre.
What do you need at the house?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.

Most children go for sausage and chips. Tell us how many children to expect.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Tell the council about the van.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

How the day works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. In Tadley, a June party has light until about 9:25pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Clear the route for the van
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
