Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hog roasts are a Christmas favourite, but it is pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.

- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers

Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Gravy
- Pie and chips

- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
The process
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we’ll adjust start times and pace. In December, it is dark in Blackhill by about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- It starts with your date, site and numbers.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, lighting and the serving spot with you or the venue.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We pack up when service ends and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Clear the route for the van
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Have a level parking spot ready

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Service time
- The date and time of year
- Cod, haddock or both
- How easy the site is to reach
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
These details help us quote quickly:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The address or venue name
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything awkward about the way in
Each quote is put together for your Christmas party. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Wellow School, hot fish and chips goes down well. Blackhill is within about 7 miles of the New Forest National Park; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Plan cover for the queue
- Collect allergies in advance
- Check the van can park on site
Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
Blackhill questions
Do you come out to small places like Blackhill?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Blackhill?
Romsey station, about 4 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Whenever suits your party. Remember it is dark by about 4pm in December.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
