How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Chartwell Green
Fish and chips is food everyone enjoys, which makes it a safe choice for a mixed team. For boxing Day and New Year gatherings and end-of-year club parties, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
For a Christmas get-together near Chartwell Green, the van on the drive goes down well on a dark December evening. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Chartwell Green
Could you trade in Itchen Valley Country Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Chartwell Green?
Swaythling station, about 1.4 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. At about 4:00pm in late December, it gets dark in Chartwell Green, so put the van where there’s good light.
- 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
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
