Party fish and chip van in Tye
Party fish and chip van in Tye, fried fresh
We park on the drive or a firm spot near the party, with the hatch facing your guests. On the menu are pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re often booked for christenings and naming days and street parties and neighbourhood events.
In a small place like Tye, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Put allergy details in writing
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.
Common questions in Tye
Do you come out to small places like Tye?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van park in Eames Farm?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Do you come to Tye?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Tye is within our area and the rest of Hampshire. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
When should we book for a summer party?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so ask early.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Party venues around Tye
Tye is about 3 miles south of Havant, in Hampshire. For parties in Tye, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields in and around Tye. We cover all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire. Our bookings stretch from Tye to Southampton (20 miles away).
A green space like Eames Farm is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s. Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Church of St Peter, with fish and chips at home or in a hall afterwards. Near the coast, within about 3 miles, a fish and chip van feels like a trip to the seaside.
Anywhere in PO11, we can bring the van to you. From Gutner Lane and Copse Lane or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. We also bring the van to parties in North Hayling (1 mile north), Northney (1 mile north), Stoke (1 mile west), Thorney Island (1 mile north-east) and Warblington (2 miles north). We also serve nearby towns such as Gosport (8 miles west), Havant (3 miles north), Fareham (11 miles west), Horndean (7 miles north), Waterlooville (6 miles north-west) and Petersfield (13 miles north).
Other landmarks nearby include Havant War Memorial Hospital (2.9 miles north-west) and Emsworth Museum (2.4 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Hayling Billy.
- Local schools include The Hayling College (1.5 miles south-west)
- Pubs nearby include The Maypole pub (1 mile south-west)
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- Cod, haddock or both
- How many people are eating
- How easy the site is to reach
- The length of service
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
Each quote is put together for your party. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability right away.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Chips
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.
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.
Step by step
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we’ll adjust start times and pace. At midsummer, it’s light in Tye until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check where the van can park and send a price.
- On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
- Afterwards, we clear up and leave you to it.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.

A chip van compared with other options
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van gives people a choice. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
