How fish and chip van hire works in PO9

The menu is short and classic: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. Typical bookings include big birthdays and garden get-togethers, with cod and chips, pie and chips and gravy.

Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. Afterwards we pack up.

First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
We check availability and access and send a clear quote.
On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
Afterwards, we clear up and head off.

What you will pay

A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Landmarks near Havant

We park up for events around St Francis, Havant College and St Albans Church and the streets around them. Nearby too are Trosnant Infant School (less than half a mile south) and The Perseverance pub (0.7 miles south). The closest station to Havant is Havant station, roughly 0.6 miles south. A little further out are Havant War Memorial Hospital (0.6 miles south) and Havant Museum (0.9 miles south-east). Within reach you’ll find Southmoor Nature Reserve.

Planning a chip van in PO9

From Havant, Leigh Park and Denvilles to 4 villages and hamlets, bookings across PO9 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. 6 of the places we cover in PO9 are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always think about shelter for the queue, and fish and chips feels right at home.

Havant: If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Trosnant Infant School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. For anyone arriving by rail, Havant station, about 0.6 miles south, is the nearest station. Light matters for evening service: in Havant, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

What comes out of the fryer

Cod and chips

Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.

Gravy

A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.

Looking after everyone

We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

Tell us how many children are coming
Add an allergy question to your invitations
Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
A short menu helps everyone

You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and stay in touch about any changes.

A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.

What a fish and chip van costs

We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:

Your choice of menu
Parking and the way in
The number of meals
Distance and any road charges

Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What we need to know

You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:

Expected numbers
Where the event is
A photo of the space and the way in
Where the van would park

We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and nothing’s hot on a cool evening. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot.

Occasions we serve in PO9

If you’re planning any of these, we can help:

Milestone birthday parties
Gatherings after a funeral
Garden parties and summer get-togethers
Staff lunches and team days

PO9 questions

Who clears up?

The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.

How do you handle allergies?

Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.

What do we need to supply?

Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.

What happens if it rains?

Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.

What does it cost to hire the van?

The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

Is fish and chips enough as a meal?

Fish and chips is a meal in itself. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.

What food do you serve?

The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
