About Christmas party fish and chips in Southampton
The Christmas season is short and busy, so ask as soon as you know yours. On the menu are haddock and chips, gravy and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for christmas customer days and christmas socials for clubs.
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves.
- Tell us what you’re 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.
Cost
Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

Local landmarks in Southampton
Bookings here are frequently close to Saint Mary's, St Mary's Independent School and Rockstone Place Park and the streets around them. Nearby too are Bevois Town Primary School (under half a mile west), The Hobbit pub (less than half a mile west) and St Anne's Catholic School (0.6 miles south-west). Southampton has its own railway station: St Denys station. Other landmarks nearby include Marlands Shopping Centre (1 mile south-west) and R J Mitchell Museum (0.9 miles south-west). Within reach you’ll find Netley Common.
December events across Southampton
Across Southampton, festive bookings range from works car parks to village halls. Tell us about lighting and access. 40 of the places we cover in Southampton are within about 6 miles of the sea, so we often plan a sheltered side for the queue.
Southampton: If people are coming by rail, there’s a station right in Southampton: St Denys station. If a church like Saint Mary's is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. It gets dark in Southampton by about 4:00pm at Christmas; park the van where there is good light.
Is a fish and chip van right for you?
A cold buffet in December is not much of a treat. Hot food from the van does.
Questions to ask before you book
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- VAT, if it applies
- What they can offer for dietary needs
- Whether travel is included
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Book as early as possible for December
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Check the van can park on site
- Confirm allergies by email
Keep the walk from the door to the van short.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.

For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
