Fish and chip van hire across SO20
A fish and chip van works almost anywhere the van can park: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field. We serve gravy, pie and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for company team days and work Christmas parties.
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- 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.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the spot as we found it.

A fish and chip van across SO20: what to know
There are 3 towns and 15 villages and hamlets in SO20, so whether your event is in Hyde, Highcliffe and Winnall or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level spot, a clear way in and a plan.
Broughton: After a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin, the van can be waiting at a nearby hall or house. If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Broughton Primary School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. Evenings in Broughton stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
DIY versus a fish and chip 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 is crisp.
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.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Count children separately
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Plan bins near the queue
After service, we pack up, leaving the pitch tidy.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The day of the week
- How easy the site is to reach
- How long we serve
- Your choice of menu
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of where the van would go
Send us the date, the address or SO20 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and we’ll reply with a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
SO20 questions
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Cod or haddock?
Let us know which you’d prefer and we’ll confirm the menu.
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 does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
