Our fish and chip van hire in SO15
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a drive, a car park, a yard, a showground or a firm lawn in and around SO15. On the menu are pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for garden parties and summer get-togethers and gatherings after a funeral.
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Cost
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.

What’s near Shirley
Locally, our bookings take us close to Millbrook Community School, St James' Park and Shirley Parish Church, among other places. Other local landmarks include Regents Park Community College (less than half a mile west), The Crown Public House (under half a mile north-west) and Wordsworth Primary School (under half a mile north). The nearest railway station is Millbrook (Hants) station, roughly 0.7 miles south. Nearby you will also find Netley Castle (4.4 miles south-east) and Foresters Museum & Archive (1 mile south-east). The countryside around Shirley includes Testwood Lakes.
Chip van hire across SO15
Across SO15, we serve 3 towns and 1 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Shirley, Regents Park and Maybush to a quiet hamlet: firm ground, access and agreed timings. Around 13 places in SO15 are close to the coast, so we frequently plan a sheltered side for the queue.
Shirley: PTAs at schools such as Wordsworth Primary School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Within reach of Shirley are historic houses such as Southampton Tudor House and Garden (1.9 miles south-east) and Medieval Merchant's House (2 miles south-east). Historic venues often limit vehicles, so ask early if you’re booking one. Around midsummer it stays light in Shirley until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 4:00pm, the van and the queue need lighting.

Hot food on a cold or wet day is hard to beat, and the cooking carries on inside the van whatever the weather.
These are some of the bookings we take:

Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
