Fish and chip van hire across PO11
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field. We serve curry sauce, gravy and sausage and chips, and we’re frequently booked for village fêtes and school fairs and care home visits.
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Fish and chip van hire in PO11: local guide
From Havant, South Hayling and West Town to 7 villages and hamlets, bookings across PO11 range from town-centre sites to farmyards, and a chip van suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground. Around 10 places in PO11 are close to the coast, where we always think about shelter for the queue, and fish and chips feels right at home.
South Hayling: Churches such as St Mary's Church rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by typically does. Among the historic houses close to South Hayling are Warblington Castle (3.9 miles north). Historic venues frequently limit vehicles, so ask early if you are booking one. Evening events need a little planning for light: around South Hayling, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm.

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Plan bins near the queue
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
Keep the menu short and the queue moves quickly.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Whether a minimum applies
- Cod, haddock or both
- Service time
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: tell us the basics about your event, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order.
What your quote should include
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- What the van needs: space, access, power
- Payment terms and deposit
- How late numbers can change
Your questions about a fish and chip van in PO11
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
That depends on how many and how quickly. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
What happens when we hire the van?
We bring the van to your event, set up, heat the fryers and cook to order, serving from the hatch at the time you choose.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
- 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
