About Christmas party fish and chips in Hampshire

Everything is fried inside the van, so rain and cold don’t stop us. Popular choices include haddock and chips, mushy peas and gravy, and typical bookings are for lights switch-on events and staff Christmas parties.

It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss.

First, the plan: what, where and what time.
You hear back on the date and the price.
The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
We leave the spot as we found it.

Pricing in Hampshire

The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Christmas across Hampshire: what to know

In Hampshire’s towns, a Christmas party might be in a car park by the office; in its villages, at the hall or a farmhouse. Let us know about the spot and the route. Parts of Hampshire are within a few miles of the New Forest National Park, the South Downs National Park and the Surrey Hills National Landscape, where some venues have extra rules about vehicles. 143 of the places we cover in Hampshire are within about 6 miles of the sea, so we frequently plan a sheltered side for the queue, and fish and chips feels right at home.

Basingstoke: With the A30 and A33 nearby, December journeys to Basingstoke are straightforward. Christmas fairs at a church such as St Michael's Church can book the van as a hot-food stall. At about 4:00pm in late December, it gets dark in Basingstoke; light the path to the van.

What affects the price in Hampshire

The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:

How long we serve
Travel, tolls and road charges
How easy the site is to reach
The date and time of year

Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.

Takeaway run or book a van?

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

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 normally simpler.

Looking after everyone

Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:

Send allergies to us in writing
Check the van can park on site
Choose a lit spot for the van
Have a back-up for special diets

Afterwards, we pack up.

Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.

Food your guests will love

Sausage and chips

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.

Pie and chips

For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.

FAQs for Hampshire

Is the food cooked at the event?

Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.

When should we book for December?

As early as possible. Fridays in December book up first.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.

What if it is raining or freezing?

The van copes fine. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.

Do you bring everything you need?

All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.

Can the van park on grass?

That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
