Fish and chip van hire across SO22

Fish and chips is generous food: crisp batter, flaky fish and plenty of chips. It makes the food a talking point. We serve haddock and chips, curry sauce and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for fish and chip days at care homes and birthday celebrations.

If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace.

  1. You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
  2. You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
  3. We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
  4. We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
  5. We pack up afterwards and leave the spot as we found it.

Fish and chip van hire in SO22: local guide

There are 3 towns and 2 villages and hamlets in SO22, so the setting can be anything from Winchester, Hyde and Weeke to a quiet hamlet: firm ground, access and agreed timings.

Winchester: For anyone arriving by rail, Winchester station, about 0.6 miles north, is the nearest station. If you had St. Cross Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans can’t simply park up and serve in a public park. Light matters for evening service: in Winchester, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

Prices and what affects them

Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

  • Travel, tolls and road charges
  • The day of the week
  • The length of service
  • Numbers

There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

Getting an accurate quote

To check availability and price, we need:

  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • Where the van would park
  • The date and time of the event
  • Access details such as gates and narrow lanes

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.

Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:

  • A short walk from the party
  • Flat, firm ground for the van
  • A lit spot if service runs after dark

SO22: your questions answered

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 tell you honestly what we can offer.

Can the van park on the street?

Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.

What do you bring?

Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.

Which fish do you use?

We serve cod and haddock; tell us which you’d like for your event.

How quickly can you serve everyone?

A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.

Is there a non-fish option?

Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.

Who clears up?

We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
