Party fish and chip van in Wootton
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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 nobody has to miss the party.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Questions from Wootton
What’s the nearest station to Wootton?
New Milton station, about 2.2 miles south of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Wootton?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Hampshire. See all areas.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Does the batter contain gluten?
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.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Will the van fit on our drive?
Often, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send a photo of the drive and the way in.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
Ordering in for a crowd means long waits. A van fries on the spot. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.
