Party fish and chip van for your party in Upper Clatford

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
A chip van compared with other options
Buffets are simple but rarely memorable. The van becomes part of the party. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
Why us?
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- All the chip-shop extras
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- A van that becomes part of the event

Questions from Upper Clatford
What’s the nearest station to Upper Clatford?
Andover station, about 1.3 miles north of the centre.
Can you serve after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
