Our fish and chip van hire in SP11

Rain does not stop a fish and chip van, because the fryers are inside. That makes it a safe bet for British events. On the menu are sausage and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for big birthdays and care home visits.

We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat.

  1. Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. You hear back on the date and the price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

Around Ludgershall

We park up for events around Ludgershall Castle Primary School, The Wellington Academy and Prince of Wales Hotel, among other places. A little further out are Ludgershall Castle (within half a mile north).

Planning a chip van in SP11

Across SP11, we serve 3 towns and 58 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Andover, Ludgershall and East Anton or a quiet village, the approach is the same: firm ground, access and agreed timings.

Ludgershall: For a fundraiser at a school like Ludgershall Castle Primary School, the van can trade from a pitch agreed with the school. For a christening or celebration after a service at a church such as Church of St James, the van can serve at a hall or home nearby. Light matters for evening service: in Ludgershall, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

Why a fish and chip van works

Hot food on a cold or wet day is hard to beat, and the cooking carries on inside the van whatever the weather.

A fish and chip van suits almost any gathering. In SP11, people book us for events such as:

  • Weddings and evening receptions
  • Visits to care homes and day centres
  • Wakes and gatherings after a funeral
  • Christmas parties

Looking after everyone

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

  • Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
  • Add an allergy question to your invitations
  • Fewer choices mean faster service
  • Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences

Fish and chips is best eaten right away, so we cook as people come up to the hatch.

A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.

What a fish and chip van costs

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:

  • Distance and any road charges
  • The day of the week
  • Access and parking
  • Any minimum charge

Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.

Details that help

These details help us quote quickly:

  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • The address or venue name
  • Expected numbers
  • Where the van would park

Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Next to a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which helps if some guests don’t eat pork.

Comparing caterers

  • Exactly what’s included in the price
  • The deposit and payment dates
  • How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun
  • How late numbers can change

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
