A chip van works for birthdays, garden parties and family celebrations. It’s food every generation enjoys. For street parties and engagement parties, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
In a small place like West Meon, 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. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips

FAQs for West Meon
Can you serve after a service at Church of St John the Evangelist?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like West Meon?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Will the van fit on our drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll tell you honestly.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Tell the council about the van.
What do children eat?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your party and we’ll send a quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What do you need at the house?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Mention power and water and we’ll confirm the rest.

Planning the van’s spot

- A clear area by the serving hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
