Christmas party fish and chips for Bramshaw events
How the day works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. Plan your Christmas party in Bramshaw around the dark: the light goes at about 4:00pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

About our Christmas party fish and chips in Bramshaw
The van parks outside and serves hot food. For end-of-year customer events and staff Christmas parties, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips and more.
For a Christmas party near Bramshaw, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
- Whether a minimum applies
- Service time
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Any dietary needs and allergies
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your Christmas party, and we will come back with availability and a quote.
Occasions we serve in Bramshaw
It feels festive without being formal.
In Bramshaw and nearby, the van turns up at all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:
- Depot Christmas treats
- Club and society Christmas socials
- PTA Christmas events
- Boxing Day and New Year gatherings
Christmas fairs at a church such as Church of St Peter can book the van as a hot-food stall.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun
- The deposit and payment dates
- The cancellation terms
- What the price includes, item by item
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Book as early as possible for December
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Send round an allergy question
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
Stagger groups so the queue stays short.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.

Questions from Bramshaw
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Bramshaw?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cook in the rain?

As soon as you have a date, especially for a Friday.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
