How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Ashlett
It works for teams who can’t all leave at once, with service timed to each group. Whether it’s christmas lunches for shift teams and end-of-year club parties, we will put together a menu of gravy, mushy peas and cod and chips and more.
Near Ashlett, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
For planners, venues and organisers
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van in the car park keeps it simple. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

Ashlett: your questions answered
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
What if it’s raining or freezing?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
We do. Send us your date and site details.
Do you do Christmas markets?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Send us the details.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

Planning a Christmas party in Ashlett
Ashlett is about 4 miles south-east of Hythe, in Hampshire. We cover Ashlett as standard, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. We take the van to all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 7 miles away.
A winter fair at a school like Fawley Infant School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. Christmas fairs at a church such as Church of All Saints can book the van as a hot-food stall. Ashlett is within about 5 miles of the New Forest National Park; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning. With the sea within about 3 miles, December breezes can be cold, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
