Christmas party fish and chips in Brighstone, fried fresh
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. We’re frequently asked to cater work Christmas parties and club and society Christmas socials, with gravy, cod and chips and curry sauce.
Near Brighstone, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

The process
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your Christmas party in Brighstone. An afternoon Christmas party in Brighstone can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 4:05pm; light the path to the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Christmas parties in Brighstone: local tips
Brighstone is about 6 miles south-west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Bookings in Brighstone come in all shapes and sizes, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Brighstone is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight we cover. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 19 miles away.
With the B3399 nearby, December journeys to Brighstone are straightforward. A winter fair at a school like Brighstone Church of England Aided Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.
We serve Christmas parties across PO30 and the streets around it. That could mean a Christmas party at a home on Main Road, Meadows Close and Wilberforce Road, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. Brighstone is on the B3399, so it’s easy for us to reach with the van. Neighbouring places where we serve Christmas parties include Moortown (1 mile north), Thorncross (1 mile south-east), Shorwell (2 miles east), Little Atherfield (3 miles south-east) and Atherfield Green (3 miles south-east). Further out, we also take the van to Newport (6 miles north-east), Ryde (12 miles north-east), Cowes (9 miles north-east), Sandown (10 miles east), Shanklin (10 miles east) and Ventnor (9 miles east). If your Christmas party is somewhere remote, tell us early so we can plan the journey.
Nearby you will also find Carisbrooke Castle (4.8 miles north-east) and Whitecroft Hospital (4.7 miles north-east). The countryside around Brighstone includes Brighstone Down.

About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
