Temple Valley questions
Do you come out to small places like Temple Valley?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Temple Valley?
Winchester station, about 3.4 miles west of the centre.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you cover Temple Valley?
We do. Temple Valley is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What happens if it rains?
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.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before you book.
Can you do something for the children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include them in your numbers.
Party fish and chip van in Temple Valley, cooked to order
Sausage and chips covers the children and anyone who does not want fish, so nobody needs a separate meal. We serve sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for children’s parties and garden parties and summer get-togethers.
Country parties near Temple Valley suit a chip van: fried fresh and eaten outside. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.

Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Count children separately
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Make sure the van can park legally
Plan where the queue stands if the van is on the drive.
Put the menu up by the van.
Step by step
You will 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. Autumn and winter parties in Temple Valley get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Before we arrive
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
Ask for a quote
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Any minimum charge
- Cod, haddock or both
- Numbers
- Service time
Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of the parking spot
- Your date and serving time
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: tell us the basics about your party, and we’ll quote on that. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
