Blackfield in December: what to know
Blackfield is about 3 miles south-east of Hythe, in Hampshire. Bookings in Blackfield come in all shapes and sizes, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Blackfield is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Blackfield to Southampton (7 miles away).
If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Blackfield Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well. Christmas fairs at a church such as St Francis can book the van as a hot-food stall. The New Forest National Park is within about 4 miles of Blackfield, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route. The coast is within about 4 miles of Blackfield, and winter sea winds can be bitter, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
For Christmas parties in SO45, we just need to know where the van can park and a serving time. Streets in the area include Newlands Copse, St Michaels Close and Dark Lane, and the van can serve a Christmas party on any of them with a suitable parking spot.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Sunset in Blackfield in late December is about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
How to get a price
