Planning an event in Leagreen?
Step by step
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. In Leagreen, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:05pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Name one person we can call on the day

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. A van keeps it relaxed, and guests eat where they like. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
What you get with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- We cover Leagreen and the whole of Hampshire
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
- Put bins near the van
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave you to the party.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

Guests coming by rail will want to know that New Milton station is about 2.2 miles away. With the New Forest National Park within about 6 miles, there are country venues, barns and gardens nearby. Check vehicle access with the venue. With the coast within about 4 miles, fish and chips suits a seaside-style wedding. We’ll think about shelter from sea breezes.

Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
