A chip van near Blackwater
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant Christmas lunch, a van brings the meal to the team. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- Events in Blackwater and across Hampshire

- Served hot, straight from the hatch

Christmas party fish and chips in Blackwater, fried fresh
The cooking is inside the van, so rain and cold don’t stop us. For new Year parties and christmas markets and fairs, we can cook gravy, mushy peas and curry sauce and more.
In Blackwater, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The van needs a lit spot and a firm surface. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
