How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Bouldnor
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal. We serve gravy, mushy peas and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for warehouse and depot Christmas lunches and PTA Christmas events.
In winter near Bouldnor, we need firm ground and light. Everything is fried fresh at your Christmas party, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Planners, venues and businesses
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Prices and what affects them
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How long we serve
- The minimum booking
- The day of the week
- Numbers
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where the event is
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Book as early as possible for December
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
When service is finished, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
Step by step
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. It gets dark in Bouldnor by about 4:05pm at Christmas; choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Share the timings for the day
Ask for a quote
Each quote is put together for your Christmas party. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

Bouldnor in December: what to know
Bouldnor is about 5 miles south-east of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. Give us the address of your Christmas party in Bouldnor, and we will plan access and set-up before the day. Bouldnor is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Bouldnor to Southampton (15 miles away).
A winter fair at a school like Yarmouth Church of England Aided Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. For colleagues travelling by train, Lymington Pier station, about 4.2 miles north-west, is the nearest station. With the sea within about 3 miles, December breezes can be cold.
We take the van to Christmas parties all over PO41 and the streets around it. Whether your Christmas party is on The Vineyard, Port La Salle and Waters Edge or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. Close by, we cover Christmas parties in Yarmouth (1 mile west), Cranmore (1 mile east), Hamstead (2 miles north-east), Shalfleet (3 miles east) and Thorns Beach (4 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Newport (8 miles east), Ryde (14 miles east), Cowes (8 miles north-east), Sandown (14 miles east), Shanklin (14 miles east) and Ventnor (14 miles south-east). If your Christmas party is somewhere remote, tell us early so we can plan the journey.
Nearby you will also find Ferguson Family Museum (1.9 miles south-west) and Yarmouth Castle (1 mile west). Within reach you will find Compton Down and Lymington and Keyhaven Marshes Nature Reserve.
- Pubs nearby include Bugle Hotel (0.9 miles west)

Bouldnor questions
Which station is closest to Bouldnor?
The closest is Lymington Pier station, roughly 4.2 miles away.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can you serve in the cold?
Not for the cooking. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Bouldnor.
Do you come to Bouldnor?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Bouldnor is within our area and the rest of the Isle of Wight. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
At the time you choose. Plan lighting, as it is dark early.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
