Planning a Christmas party in Cufaude
Cufaude is about 4 miles north-east of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. Cufaude is well within our area, so your Christmas party just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. We serve 683 places in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 10 miles away.
PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Bramley Church of England Primary School, suit a chip van. A Christmas fair at The Vyne Chapel is just the kind of event a chip van suits.

Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Prices and what affects them
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Numbers
- Cod, haddock or both
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Parking and the way in
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your Christmas party is.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Expected numbers
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Anything awkward about the way in
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Keep the queue dry
A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Where the van can park in Cufaude
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Popular choices
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Gravy
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
How it works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your Christmas party in Cufaude. In December, it is dark in Cufaude by about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Next to a Christmas meal out, a van means no booking, no travel and no time off site. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
