About our party fish and chip van in Wintershill
You don’t need to hire a hall: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. Whether it’s garden get-togethers and family parties with children, we can cook sausage and chips, gravy and pie and chips for your guests.
In a small place like Wintershill, 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. Everything is fried fresh at your party, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
FAQs for Wintershill
Do you come out to small places like Wintershill?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Wintershill close to London?
About 62 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Tell the council about the van.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- A picture of the parking spot helps
- Send allergies to us in writing
With children, food about an hour in works well.
Plan cover in case of showers.

How it works
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, timed around your party. A summer party in Wintershill stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Prices and what affects them
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- How long we serve
- Access and parking
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the van would park
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Hiring a hall and a caterer adds up. With a van, home becomes the venue. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Why book with us
- A clear quote before you book
- We cover Wintershill and the whole of Hampshire
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Rain does not stop the fryers

Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Planning the van’s spot
We will be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. What matters most:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
