Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Where the van can park in Chineham

- A spot near your guests
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Plan cover for the queue
- Put allergy details in writing
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Book as early as possible for December
Park the van close to the door, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.

Common questions in Chineham
What’s the nearest station to Chineham?
The closest is Basingstoke station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Can the van park in Eastrop Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you do Christmas markets?
We do. Send us the event details and the pitch information.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
How the day works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your Christmas party. We handle the cooking and serving. In December, it’s dark in Chineham by about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
