Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Blendworth
How far is Blendworth from London?
About 56 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
We do. Tell us the date and pitch.
When should we eat?
Early in the evening usually works best, before the drinks really flow. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Any minimum charge
- How far we travel
- How many people are eating
- The menu and how many choices
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
The process
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests typically gather round the hatch as soon as we open. It gets dark in Blendworth by about 4:00pm at Christmas; choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

Blendworth in December: what to know
Blendworth is about 1 mile north-east of Horndean, in Hampshire. We park up at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Blendworth. We cover all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 18 miles away.
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Church of the Holy Trinity draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. A winter fair at a school like Horndean Church of England Junior School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. Blendworth is within about 6 miles of the South Downs National Park, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
