About our Christmas party fish and chips in Bordon
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and a quick, organised service. On the menu are gravy, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater club and society Christmas socials and christmas fairs and lights switch-ons.
In Bordon, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The van needs a lit spot and a firm surface. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Bordon in December: what to know
Bordon is about 10 miles south-west of Aldershot, in Hampshire. Christmas parties in Bordon are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, an agreed spot for the van and food fried fresh on the day. We cover all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire. We serve events right across the region, from Bordon to Guildford (about 16 miles away).
A Christmas fair at St Mark's Sacred Church is just the kind of event a chip van suits. The A325 and B3002 make Bordon easy to reach on a dark winter evening.

Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A short walk from the party
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
From the hatch
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Numbers
- The length of service

Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.

Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. An afternoon Christmas party in Bordon can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 4:00pm, so put the van where there’s good light.
