Fish and chip van hire across PO13
The queue at the hatch is part of the fun. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. We’re often asked to cater weddings, especially the evening and milestone birthday parties, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule.
- 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.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Planning a chip van in PO13
From Gosport, Stubbington and Lee-on-the-Solent to 1 villages and hamlets, bookings across PO13 range from town-centre sites to farmyards, and a chip van suits every kind of setting. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access. Around 9 places in PO13 are close to the coast, where we always think about shelter for the queue.
Lee-on-the-Solent: If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Lee-On-the-Solent Infant and Nursery School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. If guests are travelling by rail, Fareham station, about 3.5 miles north, is the nearest station. In Lee-on-the-Solent, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
About the food
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and generally costs more per head. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if plans change
- The deposit and payment dates
- When final numbers are due
- Exactly what’s included in the price

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Any minimum charge
- How many people are eating
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Service time
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of where the van would go
- Allergies and diets you know about
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, use our quote form.
